Available in a choice of expandable, manual rolling pit covers or automatically operated models, these lightweight covers will quickly and easily protect open vehicle pits from accidental falls.
Expandable Inspection Pit Covers
These are an expandable aluminium cover that locates through drop in pins into the pit rail, each panel expands to 2000mm from a contracted length of only 540mm and weighs only 17.6kg to allow for easy handling. Multiple section are used to cover the desired pit length. These covers can cover pit openings of 900mm through to 1300mm.
Pit Cover Compatibility
Our pit covers are available to be fitted to our prefab and suspended ceiling pits that we manufacturer and aren’t a standard off the shelf product. In some cases our pit covers are able to be retrofitted to existing pit setups.
Product Features
Manual workshop pit covers
With their concertina action, Levanta’s robust manual service pit covers are fast and easy to deploy. They keep not only your staff safe, but also other workshop visitors such as cleaners. By deploying a manual pit cover you can ensure that any gaps between vehicles on long pits are made safe. The system consists of a curtain of aluminium slats mounted on ball bearings. This curtain folds up like an accordion into the storage unit at the end of the workshop pit. This very compact storage unit allows the aluminium curtain to be quickly housed behind the access staircase. In a situation of longer service pits we have the option to have a cassette at each end so they meet in the middle. This simple system is very suitable for mechanical service pits or inspection pit in truck and bus workshops.
Features:
- Easily manoeuvrable with 1 person up to 20.5m in length
- Traction of less than 15 kg thanks to the compensation springs under the pit cover panels allowing a tolerable pull weight
- Without residual risk of falling during installation
- Work platform for the operator when shut as it can take weight safely
- Capacity 1500 kg / m2
- Category M2 reaction to fire classification
- Minimal footprint in the pit maximising the working space in the workshop pit
