Rail Pit Board

The Pit Board is designed to create a “bridge” to ensure safe passage over depot pits or a safe working zone when working on train couplers.

Specifically designed to be easily installed in depots, the Pit Board is a lightweight aluminium frame with heavy duty GRP, hi-vis yellow, non-slip, self-draining square grating to withstand heavy foot traffic. The Pit Board incorporates adjustable feet to cater for the varying rail gauge profiles and provides a safe secure fit, with integral sockets and security pins for removable hand rails or pit ladder access.

The Pit Board is designed to remain in a secure position while allowing rolling stock and vehicle fleet to pass over it safely .

Aluminium handrail with “lift & lock” swing gate either end Part No.: 813.007.04
