Cylinders, safety & special gases in Tzaneen: local notes
Fruit packhouses around Letsitele and the Tzaneen industrial area run LPG forklifts on liquid withdrawal cylinders, with an exchange cage on site through the picking season. Farm workshops near Politsi and Duiwelskloof rent oxygen and acetylene for repairs. The damp air rusts steel cages and cylinder collars, so check valves and regulators often and replace corroded parts rather than patching them.
Tzaneen: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Tzaneen sits in the warm, green Letaba valley, surrounded by avocado, mango, citrus and banana farms, with the cooler, misty Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg hills above it. Gas is used very differently between the two. In the valley, homes in Tzaneen town, Aqua Park and Nkowankowa use LPG for cooking and hot water, and fruit packhouses near Letsitele run LPG forklifts through the picking season. Up the mountain, guest houses, cottages and lodges in Magoebaskloof use gas fireplaces, heaters and geysers, and winter there is cold and damp. LPG arrives by road to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery on farm roads. Humidity rusts cages and valves, so check them often.
Who asks for gas cages and cylinder locks around Tzaneen, most often first:
- Farms and smallholdings: locked cages at the farmhouse and poultry houses, far from the road
- Homeowners: a double cage on the side wall for the cylinders feeding the geyser and stove
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: small cages at each chalet and a larger one beside the main kitchen
