The World's Most Compact Pop-Up Pit Perch
A pit perch for race teams that folds down for the trailer, with screen mounts, power, lighting and weather cover built in.
What is a pit perch?
A pit perch is the team's station on the pit wall, where engineers and strategists run live timing, data, radio and pit boards during a session. You may also hear it called a prat perch, pit wall stand or timing stand.
Traditional versions are built from bars, beams and panels. They give a solid working position, and they also take several people to handle and fill valuable trailer space.
The Pit Perch, developed by Gala Performance, puts that same working position on a folding aluminium frame. See how it compares with traditional pit wall systems.
It is used by endurance, GT, touring car, motorcycle and karting teams, as well as trackday support crews and driver coaches.
