NHVR pits
A close subset of our drop-in pits, these pits are 1.6 m deep and a minimum of 20 m long, equipped with a roller brake tester and a suspension tester shaker. The primary purpose of the pit is to provide a compliant workspace for NHVR inspectors on your leased site.
Mandatory fit-out includes zone-rated lighting and ventilation systems as mandated by AS 60079.
Optional fit-out items can also be accommodated to make the pit an alternative service pit when NHVR inspectors are not using it. Talk to our experienced designers for ideas on how to increase the utility of your service pit.
