The challenges of working over a service pit.
The vehicle-servicing industry is growing fast, but the pit environment presents real safety and operational challenges. Our carefully crafted products are designed to address these issues directly — proving themselves a wise investment by enhancing safety and efficiency across your vehicle servicing operations, and lifting throughput rather than slowing it.
- 01Risk of fatal falls into open pits.
- 02Pit jumping across open spans.
- 03Handling heavy, awkward covers.
- 04Working safely over an open pit.
- 05Maximising workspace while keeping utilities accessible.
- 06Cutting operating risk while increasing throughput.
Three products, one integrated approach — the pit itself, the cover that protects it when idle, and the platforms that let you work over it in use.
The range
Traditional service pit styles allow mechanics to work underneath vehicles, but often overlook the advantages of a design featuring both curved walls and a concrete floor. Ours are engineered for optimal access and safety during maintenance and inspection, significantly boosting your workshop’s efficiency and technician comfort.

Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel with a durable non-slip surface, our covers are built to withstand the rigours of a busy workshop. The dual-drive hydraulic system ensures smooth, quiet and reliable operation at the push of a button, freeing up valuable technician time, with the peace of mind of full compliance.
