A couple years back a friend of mine put a pit in his truck shop. Although I don’t remember the exact dimensions a would guess it to be about 3 1/2 feet wide, just slightly narrower than the inside dimensions between duals frame to frame. For length it’s about 14 ft. long, most of his trucks are R model Mack’s and if I remember correctly you can park completely over it so you don’t step into it while working on a lone tractor. He had a precast company build and deliver it; they put a sump pump recess in on one end in case it ever took on water. They set it on sand about 8” below concrete grade with a slight slope towards the sump, and poured the floor over the top edge of the pit. Before pouring the surrounding floor he sunk a pipe or a piece of concrete tube vertically outside the box for an external sump hole, after the floor was finished he fashioned a steel cover for the sump. I think all of his air and electric comes through a 2-3 " pvc pipe under the floor from the nearby exterior wall. I thought it was a pretty good design.
