If you’ve ever taken your car for repairs in a commercial automotive garage, you’re likely familiar with vehicle service pits—designated spaces on the workshop floor where vehicles are parked to be serviced from underneath. These are also called vehicle inspection pits or grease pits. They are narrow enough to fit between the wheels of a vehicle yet wide enough for a technician to work within, accessed by stairs or steps. However, their safety can be a concern.

Pit Safety Incidents

Falls into vehicle service pits are common accidents in inspection bays. Poor ventilation in these pits can also lead to fires and explosions from hazardous substances. Traditional fall protection systems, like safety nets, often prove unreliable. Recognizing this gap, Stan Design Inc. has developed innovative solutions.
