Cylinders, safety & special gases in Worcester: local notes
Cellars, packhouses and food factories in the Worcester industrial area and around De Doorns run forklifts on LPG exchange, busiest in harvest season. Farm workshops near Wolseley rent oxygen and acetylene for repairs, kept upright and chained. Summer heat in the valley warms cylinders left in the sun, so ask for a shaded, ventilated, lockable cage.
Worcester: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Worcester is the centre of the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains that often carry snow in winter, with hot, dry summers and cold, frosty nights. Gas is used in town homes for cooking, geysers and heaters, and on the vineyards and fruit farms toward Rawsonville and the Hex River Valley for farmhouses, packsheds and worker housing. LPG comes in by road on the N1 from depots near Cape Town, to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with farm delivery on set days. Packhouses, cellars and food factories use forklift gas. In summer keep cylinders shaded and never in a hot bakkie cab, and in winter keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
Typical gas cages and cylinder locks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a double cage on the side wall for the cylinders feeding the geyser and stove
- Farms and smallholdings: locked cages at the farmhouse and poultry houses, far from the road
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: caged storage for canteen and heating cylinders in a fenced yard
