A pit type weighbridge is installed at ground level and is useful where available space is limited. Because the platform is level with the surrounding ground, vehicles can approach from different directions.
The existing product information also describes this configuration as suitable for public weighing applications and sites where space is limited.
Pitless weighbridges are installed above ground with ramps for vehicle access. They can be useful where excavation is difficult, expensive or undesirable. Compared with pit-type installations, pitless systems can offer easier maintenance and avoid water accumulation inside a pit.
