Automatic Pit Covers

EquipSpecs supplies and installs fully automatic, air-operated pit covers that eliminate the risks associated with open workshop pits.

Every cover is:

– Custom-built and modular, suitable for pit lengths up to 46 metres
– Air-operated and fully automatic, opening and closing at the push of a button
– Low-profile and efficient, with a compact integrated storage system
– Walk-on rated, with no lifting or manual handling required

Installed across New Zealand, EquipSpecs pit covers help workshops move beyond temporary barriers like cones or tape. By replacing visual warnings with a physical safety solution, we support safer, cleaner, and more compliant workspaces — professionally installed, and built to last.
