Cylinders, safety & special gases in Limpopo: local notes
Packhouses in Tzaneen and Letaba and the Polokwane industrial area run LPG forklifts on cylinder exchange cages. Mines and contractors in Lephalale, Steelpoort and Phalaborwa rent oxygen, acetylene and argon from industrial gas suppliers. In the heat around Thohoyandou and Giyani, hoses dry out and crack sooner, so check them often. Cages for lodge cylinders should be shaded, locked and open to the air.
Limpopo: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Limpopo is hot for much of the year, so here gas is used less for heating and more for cooking, water and keeping kitchens running at game lodges and on farms far from town. LPG comes north by road along the N1 to dealers and refill stations in Polokwane, Mokopane and Tzaneen, then out to lodges in the Waterberg, around Hoedspruit and near the Kruger gates. Many remote sites order by scheduled delivery or keep a bulk tank. Mango, avocado and citrus packhouses use LPG forklifts, and mining towns like Lephalale and Phalaborwa need welding gas. Summer heat is the main caution: keep cylinders upright and shaded, and never leave one in a closed bakkie cab.
