Stock Pits & Risers

Precast pit risers offer a simple solution to adjust the final height of a stormwater, cabling or trade waste pit to achieve the required pit depth, saving time in comparison to getting a custom height made to order.

Pit riser walls include a slight protrusion at the base, allowing them to fit snugly into the pit wall rebate when they are stacked on top of a compatible pit base.

It is crucial that all products are lifted using the appropriate lifting tools and techniques to ensure safe transportation and handling. Due to the sheer weight of precast concrete products, any product failure or failure of incorrect lifting equipment poses a high risk to people nearby.

SVC incorporates steel lifting anchors into our precast concrete products, which are compatible with either 1.3T, 2.5T or 5.0 lifting clutches (depending on product weight). Lifting clutches must be connected to the appropriately load-rated lifting chains. All clutches are available to purchase from SVC.

Note: Some SVC pit products may still include lifting holes, which are compatible with 1.0T lifting hooks. Customers must not use these holes to thread chains through for lifting; this is an incorrect technique and is very dangerous as it creates a high chance of pit wall breakage due to the stress from the chain.
