Engineered Solutions: Why Service Pits Matter

When downtime means lost revenue and fleet operations, you need a workshop pit system that delivers performance, safety and durability. At A-FLO, we engineer heavy-vehicle service pits that aren’t just built to last — they’re built to keep your mechanics working, your vehicles rolling and your business ahead of schedule.

Excellent Vehicle Service Pits You Can Find at A-FLO:

Prefabricated Steel Pits
Our prefabricated steel pits are ready-to-install solutions designed for durability and heavy-duty use and are compliant with all relevant industry standards. Made from high-quality Australian steel, these vehicle service pits are ideal for workshops that need a robust, long-lasting area for vehicle maintenance that can withstand the rigours of daily use without compromising  performance.

Suspended Ceiling Pits
For workshops that require flexible configurations, our range of Suspended Ceiling Pits offers optimal space use and easy access to the vehicle’s undercarriage. Engineered with over 30 years of expertise, these heavy vehicle service pits for trucks and buses are perfect for facilities that service multiple vehicle types and sizes.

Service Pit Platforms
Custom-engineered elevating work platforms (EWPs) for service pits offer hydraulically adjustable access, ergonomic comfort, and efficient under-vehicle servicing. These platforms serve as secure pit covers when not in use, reduce servicing time by up to 30 %, and support versatile operations across truck, bus, machinery, and fleet workshops.

Workshop Pit Upgrades
Already have a service pit? Our workshop pit upgrades can bring your existing Pits up to the latest RMS standards. Add modern safety features and enhance your service pit’s operational efficiency with additions like heavy-duty hose reels and pumps for diesel transfer.

Pit Lighting & Ventilation
A service pit deeper than 1.4m may require approved lighting and ventilation to comply with Australian Standards. This is where our solutions for pit lighting and ventilation step in. Essential for maintaining a safe working environment, they ensure that your vehicle service Pits are well-lit and provide adequate air quality to keep your workspace safe and comfortable for technicians.

Why Service Pits Matter

In a workshop servicing trucks, buses or industrial vehicles, under-vehicle access is critical. A purpose-built service pit offers:

  • Faster inspection and repair times (no need to hoist large vehicles)
  • Safer working conditions (clear visibility, safe access, ergonomic workflows)
  • Reduced trip hazards and fall risks — and so improved safety compliance
  • A professional, efficient space that supports higher throughput and better utilisation of workshop bays.

Heavy Vehicle Service Pits: Adding Value to Your Workshop
Incorporating a service pit into your workshop enhances your operations’ functionality, safety and efficiency. A-FLO’s service pits are built to meet diverse needs, ensuring you have the right tools to handle any job. From grease reels to specialised equipment, our setups help maximise productivity and maintain high work standards.

Key Benefits

  • Up to 30% reduction in service cycle time via ergonomic design and strategically placed fit-out tools.
  • Compliance with Australian heavy-vehicle workshop standards and ventilation/lighting codes (e.g., pits >1.4 m depth).
  • Minimal downtime during installation: many drop-in pits can be installed with the bay out of service for only days, not weeks.
  • Scalable to any fleet size: from single-bay repair shops through to multi-lane truck and bus facilities, even road-trains.
  • Long lifecycle, high durability — built for heavy-duty use day after day.

Our Solutions
We supply:

  • Prefabricated Steel Pits: Manufactured from heavy-duty Australian steel, transported and dropped-in ready for installation.
  • Suspended Ceiling Pits: For sites needing clear unobstructed access under vehicles of varying sizes — ideal for mixed fleets.
  • Service Pit Platforms (Elevating Work Platforms): Redirect under-vehicle work into ergonomic, height-adjustable platforms that retract when not in use, doubling as safe pit covers.
    “All installations include optional add-ons such as heavy-duty hose reels (air, water, oil, AdBlue), integrated pumps, ventilation systems compliant with AS/NZS standards, and high-intensity pit lighting.

Compliance & Satefy
Working under large vehicles poses significant risk if not built and equipped correctly.

At A-FLO we ensure:

  • Correct ventilation systems for pits deeper than 1.4 m, as required by many standards.
  • High-intensity lighting, industrial coatings to minimise corrosion and improve visibility.
  • Escape stairs or side-access tunnels, jack-rails and compliant hand-rails.
  • A complete design & installation service that aligns with heavy-vehicle workshop compliance.
