Cylinders, safety & special gases in Pretoria: local notes
Car component plants and warehouses in Rosslyn and Waltloo run LPG forklifts and keep an exchange cage of full cylinders on site. Workshops in Pretoria West and Silverton rent argon, CO2 and oxygen and acetylene cylinders for fabrication and repairs. Houses in Garsfontein and Elarduspark often ask for a lockable cage for the cylinders by the side wall, kept ventilated, with a new low pressure regulator and hose.
Gas in Pretoria
Pretoria's LPG comes by road to depots and dealers around Pretoria West, Rosslyn and Silverton, and from there to refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the city. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside cook on two plate gas cookers with a 5 kg or 9 kg cylinder, while families in Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood run gas hobs, braais and tankless geysers. Winter mornings in the east of the city are frosty and gas heaters come out in June, so ventilation matters. Factories in Rosslyn run LPG forklifts. Older houses in Arcadia and Muckleneuk often have a wood fireplace that owners want to convert to gas, which is an installation that needs a CoC.
The requests we see from Pretoria 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
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: fabrication shops with racks of rented argon, MIG mix, oxygen and acetylene

Requests range widely: small hobby cylinders to tall workshop sizes. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a small owned MIG mix cylinder for gate repairs and hobby welding in the garage. One local point to raise: by road to depots in Pretoria West and Rosslyn; dealers spread across the city.
Service area: Pretoria and surrounds
Requests from Pretoria go to dealers and installers who already work in Centurion, Hatfield, Waterkloof, Montana, Silver Lakes, Mooikloof, Akasia and the rest of the area. Mention an estate with access rules, a flat on an upper floor or a long walk from the gate, because they change the delivery.
