European Specification Inspection & Testing Pits

Euro pits are designed to allow easy working access of an underside commercial vehicle for inspection, maintenance and repair.

Commercial vehicles are predominantly worked on under a pit rather than a lift in Europe there are a number of reasons why:

• Quicker throughput
• No ongoing maintenance required
• Improved health and safety with CE 1090 marked vehicle inspection pits

Vehicle inspection pits were typically made out of brick and left numerous hazards for when working underneath a vehicle such as:

• Ingress of water
• Poor lighting
• Slippery entrance and exit
• Unsafe flooring 
• Poor working conditions 

The introduction of an Everquip steel fabricated vehicle inspection pit solved the above by producing:

• Non-slip entrance and exit to BS5395
• Non-slip floor 
• Zone 2 lights 
• Centrally fitted sump 
• Steel fabrication of pit with skeletal frame internally and externally welded to ensure no ingress of water.
