Pit-Type Weighbridges
Pit-Type Weighbridges


  • Definition :
  • A pit-type weighbridge is installed in a pit. This design allows the weighbridge platform to be level with the surrounding ground, enabling vehicles to drive directly onto the scale. It is ideal for high-traffic areas and industries requiring frequent, heavy-duty weighing but have less space.
  • Advantages :
  • A. Space Efficiency : The flush design helps save space and integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure, reducing tripping hazards and optimizing site layout.
  • B. Ease of Access : Vehicles can drive on and off easily, minimizing loading and unloading times and facilitating efficient operations.

  • Features :
    • I. Design
  • A. Foundation : Built into a pit that is excavated to house the weighbridge components, including the load cells and platform.
  • B. Load Cells : Embedded in the pit to measure the weight of vehicles and transmit the data to the indicator.
  • C. Platform : The weighbridge surface is level with the ground, allowing for smooth vehicle entry and exit.
  • D. Ramps : No ramps are required as vehicles can easily drive on and off the weighbridge.

    • II. Materials
  • A. Mild Steel Platform : Strong, lightweight, and customizable, suitable for complex designs.
  • B. Concrete Platform : Durable and weather-resistant, but heavier and more challenging to transport and install.

    • III. Capacity

    Accommodates from 10 to 150 tons, making it suitable for a range of vehicles and trailers.


    IV. Platform Sizes
  • A. 4-6 Tire Vehicles : 6-10 meters (20-33 feet) long and 3 meters (10 feet) wide.
  • B. 12-16 Tire Vehicles : 10-15 meters (33-50 feet) long and 3 meters (10 feet) wide.
  • C. Trailers: Up to 18 meters (60 feet) long and 3 meters (10 feet) or more wide, depending on trailer size.

  • Conclusion :
    • Its design ensures smooth operation and integrates well with existing infrastructure, making it a popular choice for industries such as mining, logistics, and construction.
  • Considerations :
    • The pit should be designed to manage water drainage and prevent accumulation.
