Looking for welding gas in Cape Town?

Ask about exchange days, rental terms and whether they deliver to workshops in Cape Town.
The main welding and industrial gas page explains the equipment, the rules and the costs in more detail.
What to know locally in Cape Town
Warehouses in Epping, Montague Gardens and Airport Industria run forklifts on LPG exchange from a ventilated cage outside. Fabrication shops in Paarden Eiland and Salt River rent argon mixes, CO2 and oxygen. On the Atlantic seaboard in Camps Bay and Hout Bay, salt air rusts cages and padlocks, so ask for a coated cage and check the regulator for corrosion.
Gas in Cape Town
Cape Town winters are wet, windy and cold, and many homes rely on gas heaters and fireplaces from May to September, alongside the gas hobs and geysers fitted during load shedding. LPG arrives by road from depots near the harbour and the northern industrial areas to dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the metro. Restaurants in the City Bowl, Sea Point and the Waterfront run gas ranges and patio heaters, and warehouses in Epping and Montague Gardens use forklift gas. Salt air along the Atlantic seaboard and the False Bay coast rusts cylinders and cages, and the south-easter can topple loose cylinders, so stand them in a cage on a firm base.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small owned MIG mix cylinder for gate repairs and hobby welding in the garage
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: stainless fabricators building kitchen counters and extraction canopies with TIG and argon
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: maintenance teams with a cutting set for repairs to gates, palisades and railings
