What to know locally in Johannesburg
Cylinder theft is a worry in Troyeville, Bertrams and parts of the south, so lockable cages bolted to a wall or slab are a common request. Workshops and fabricators in City Deep, Selby and Booysens rent argon, argon CO2 mixes and oxygen and acetylene sets from industrial gas suppliers. Warehouses in Industria and Crown Mines run LPG forklifts on an exchange cage. Party shops in Fordsburg ask about rented helium cylinders.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its LPG by road from filling plants and depots on the East Rand and in the south, then through dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery bakkies that work suburb by suburb. Many older houses in Melville, Parkhurst and Kensington moved cooking to gas during load shedding, often with a 9 kg cylinder beside a freestanding stove, and some added a tankless geyser later. In inner city flats in Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville, a 9 kg carried up the stairs runs a two plate cooker and a heater in winter. Restaurants on 7th Street and in Maboneng run 48 kg cylinders in cages. Cold Highveld nights push heater use, so keep rooms ventilated.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a disposable kit for a child's birthday or a gender reveal at home
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: restaurants filling balloons for birthday tables and opening nights
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a rented cylinder for an estate year end function in the clubhouse
