    What to do if my Serco SafeTFrame AB Lifting Systems leveler doesn't fit in the pit?
    • L
      Lisa PayneOct 30, 2025
      If your Serco Lifting Systems leveler doesn't fit properly in the pit, there are several potential causes and solutions: * **Pit is out of square:** Align the sides parallel and equally spaced, ensuring the rear frame angle touches the rear curb angle in one place. Use shims to fill any gap between the rear curb angle and the rear frame angle. * **One side and rear angle is out of square:** Align the leveler with the two square edges, ensuring the gap on the sides is even in the most narrow section (1/2" Max. per side). * **Pit floor irregular in rear:** Flatten out the rough surface using a chisel or grinder to remove large obstructions. The rear leveling feet can be installed on out of plane surfaces up to 1/8" at each leg. * **Pit is too deep:** Weld 4" x 4" shims to the bottom...
