Pitless Weighbridge
A Pitless Weighbridge is a type of truck scale that is installed above ground, requiring ramps for vehicles to access the weighing platform. Unlike pit-type weighbridges, this system does not require a pit to be dug, making installation easier and more cost-effective in areas where drainage or excavation is challenging. Pitless weighbridges are commonly used in industries like agriculture, logistics, construction, and manufacturing to weigh trucks and heavy vehicles.
Key Features of a Pitless Weighbridge:
Above-Ground Platform: The weighing platform is elevated above ground level, requiring vehicles to approach via ramps.
Load Cells: Sensors are installed beneath the platform to measure the weight of the vehicle. These load cells convert mechanical force into electrical signals for precise weight measurements.
