To everyone considering a pit instead of a lift - be cautious! Remember, many fumes (gas, oil, propane, etc. ) are heavier than air and settle along the floor. With a pit, they will settle in the pit making it a very likely place for an expolsion due to a spark. It can also be very unhealthy to work down in the pit. If I am not mistaken, pits in service stations are no longer allowed by safety code. I believe that the oil places like Jiffy Lube get around the requirements by having very serious evacuation systems built into their pit areas. Just a thought - especially when the lifts are so safe, easy to use and give you second parking for a reasonable rpice. |
