Cylinders, safety & special gases in Pinetown: local notes
Warehouses in Mahogany Ridge and Westmead run forklift gas on an exchange service, with a locked, ventilated cage of full cylinders kept outside the loading area. Engineering shops in New Germany and Pinetown central rent argon, CO2 and oxygen from industrial gas suppliers on a monthly rental. Cylinder theft from yards in Clermont and KwaDabeka is a real worry, so ask for a cage with a proper lock.
Gas in Pinetown
Pinetown is a working town first, and much of its gas goes to factories, warehouses and food plants in New Germany, Westmead and Mahogany Ridge. Forklift cylinders are swapped from cages on site, welding and fabrication shops rent argon mixes and oxygen, and canteens and bakeries cook on 48 kg cylinders or a bulk tank. Up the hill in Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest, homes added gas hobs, geysers and heaters when load shedding bit, and the misty winter evenings on the ridges keep heater refills steady. LPG comes in by road along the M13 and N3 from coastal depots. Summer storms and heavy rain mean cylinders should stand on a raised, firm base away from drains.
Typical gas leak detection and repairs requests in the area come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: leak tracing on canteen and process gas lines, with detectors at low level
- Homeowners: a leak call out for a gas smell near the stove, geyser or heater
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: fast leak repairs on kitchen ranges and fryers, plus detectors near the line
