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.
Cooking, heating and working on 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.
The requests we see from Pinetown usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: regulators and hose for canteen burners and space heating in workshops
- Homeowners: a new regulator and hose for the stove, heater or braai on a 9 kg
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: changeover valves on 48 kg banks so the kitchen never runs dry mid service
