Start Planning Your Event Today

Event organisers, caterers, and site managers often need a dependable fuel source for outdoor equipment. Propane cylinders power everything from patio heaters and outdoor fryers to cooking stations and catering ranges. Booking your gas bottles hire through our fully online platform gives you instant access to live stock levels and pricing. You select the correct cylinder size to match your appliance and event duration.

Propane Gas Bottles Hire

We supply propane gas in red cylinders. Propane maintains pressure even when temperatures drop below freezing, making it the right choice for outdoor heating, commercial cooking, and any appliance operating in an exposed area. Cylinders are available in 13kg and 19kg capacities. The 13kg cylinder suits patio heaters and single catering burners, with a runtime of 12 to 14 hours. The 19kg cylinder provides longer runtime for high-demand appliances such as commercial fryers and griddles.

Fuelling Event Equipment

Event professionals use these cylinders to power catering equipment hire items such as commercial griddles, ovens, and deep fat fryers. Gas also fuels outdoor heaters, providing warmth in marquees or open-air venues. Confirm the specific gas requirement of your appliance before placing an order.

Safety and Delivery

Keep cylinders upright during transport and storage. Store bottles in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Always check connections for leaks before use. Connect cylinders only to compatible appliances using approved regulators and hoses. Never obstruct the pressure relief valve, and ensure only trained personnel connect and disconnect the fuel supply. Return empty cylinders for refilling.
