Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.
Oxygen is arguably the most critical industrial gas in the forestry industry. It plays a central role across multiple operations — from oxy-fuel cutting and welding of heavy forestry equipment and sawmill machinery, to pulp bleaching in paper production, and biomass gasification for energy recovery from wood waste.
That said, acetylene runs a close second, as it is essential for cutting, welding, and heating heavy forestry equipment like harvesters, skidders, and sawmill blades — machinery that takes a significant amount of wear and tear and requires constant maintenance and repair in the field.
Yes. WestAir barcodes each cylinder and will scan each cylinder when it enters and leaves your location. This eliminates the need for you to perform time-consuming and error-prone inventory tracking. This process also guarantees accurate monthly billing statements.
We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.
Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
