Pitless Weighbridges, also known as Surface Mounted Weighbridges are constructed over the level of the road surface. They do not require a pit for installation and require sloped ramps to allow vehicles to access the weighbridge. This type of weighbridge is ideal for places where excavation work for a foundation is challenging or the construction of a pit is expensive. Since these structures are above ground level, vehicles can approach the weighbridge only from directions in which the ramps are provided. Construction of this type of weighbridge requires more space
Benefits :
- Pit construction is eliminated which reduces cost.
- Since the platform is above ground level, there is no water logging during the rainy season.
- Pit maintenance is eliminated.
- Maintenance is easy since all accessible are above ground level.
- It’s possible to relocate these with the help of the special type of foundation.
