Cylinder Testing in the Midlands
Midlands cylinders don't need to leave the country to be tested. We collect from sites across Athlone and the Midlands on our ADR routes, test everything at our Kilmallock facility, and get cylinders back to you in days, not weeks.
How it works from the Midlands
We don't have a testing facility in the Midlands, and we won't pretend otherwise. Every cylinder we test is tested at our facility in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick. What we run for the Midlands customers is a collection route: our ADR-compliant vehicles collect cylinders from your site, bring them to Kilmallock for testing, and return them on the same service.
Tell us where you are and roughly how many cylinders you have, and we'll confirm the next available collection date for your area. Your cylinders travel on properly placarded vehicles, with trained drivers and the correct transport documentation, from the moment they leave your site until they're back on your rack.
Old or condemned cylinders can be collected on the same run for decommissioning and documented disposal.

Who uses it in the Midlands
Industry & manufacturing
Manufacturing and engineering sites use industrial and welding gas cylinders daily, oxygen, acetylene, argon, nitrogen and mixed gases. We test them to EU Pi-mark standard and return them in days. See our Gas & welding suppliers page.
Logistics & warehousing
Warehouses and distribution centres hold fire extinguisher and suppression cylinders across large sites, plus industrial gas for maintenance. One collection can clear a whole batch. See our Fire protection page.
Gas & welding suppliers
Trade suppliers send us customer cylinders for testing and recertification, and get them back with certification paperwork they can hand straight to their customer. See our Gas & welding suppliers page.
Why not send them to the UK?
Many the Midlands businesses still ship cylinders to Britain for testing. Since Brexit that means a ferry crossing, customs paperwork in both directions and weeks of downtime, and a periodic inspection carried out by a GB-appointed body doesn't automatically keep a cylinder's EU (Pi-mark) validity for use here.
Testing in Kilmallock means one Irish invoice, no ferry, no customs, and your cylinders back in days rather than weeks. Read our guide: Why Test in Ireland.
Questions from the Midlands customers
Is there a cylinder testing facility in the Midlands?
No. All testing is carried out at our facility in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick, Ireland's only independent cylinder testing facility. We collect from the Midlands on our ADR-compliant collection routes, so you get the testing without organising your own transport or a UK shipment.
How does collection from the Midlands work?
Tell us where you are and roughly how many cylinders you have, through the quote form or by phone, and we'll confirm the next available collection date for your area. Cylinders travel on ADR-compliant transport, are tested in Kilmallock, and come back to you with one Irish invoice covering the job.
How long will my cylinders be away?
Days, not weeks. Because there's no ferry crossing or customs process, cylinders tested in Kilmallock are back with you in days rather than the weeks a UK round trip takes.
