(Redirected from Grease pit)
A vehicle inspection pit or grease pit is a pit or trench over which a vehicle can be driven and parked to be serviced from beneath. They are typically situated in vehicle inspection bays or garages. A pit obviates the need for a jack or winch. Pits are narrow enough to fit between the wheels of a vehicle yet wide enough for a technician to work in. Access to the pit is provided by steps.[1]
Falls into pits are common accidents. Nets may be placed over unoccupied pits to protect against falls.[1]

Pits must be well ventilated to prevent fires and explosions from hazardous substances.[2]
