Inspection Pits

Another Inspection Pit, ready for delivery.

For most of us when we see our first inspection pit it's already installed in the workshop floor.

The old style, manufactured with concrete blocks or bricks, filthy dirty, wet and with some sort of makeshift steps to gain entry to it? On top of that lead light cables, extension leads and air supply hoses disappear into the pit like strands of spaghetti!!!

Forget all that and look at the Inspection Pits AXGE supply, they are completely the opposite, manufactured in "one-piece" (depending on design & dimensions) using 5mm thick steel with bright white gloss finish internal walls, walk-in removable steel staircase, a sump for any spillage, compressed air-lines, low voltage power supply and bright LED low-voltage lighting.

Utilities such as lighting and a high pressure airline are all pre-mounted into a pre-fabricated recess into the wall, allowing a clear working area for the technician. 

This simple design eliminates accidental oil and grease spillages from sticking onto the lighting giving the pit a clean bright working environment always.

All our inspection pits are manufactured and fully marked to the standard :  

BS EN 1090-2:2008 + A1:2011 Exc 2.

We are not restricted to inspection pits only.

If its made of steel and you have the dimensions of what you want we can quote you for it, we have supplied wash pits, cattle watering tubs, chemical dips, cattle crossing tubs etc, etc.
