    We have delivered weighbridges all over the world using our unique shipping container solution. This novel method provides a highly cost-effective way to supply products to areas where quality weighbridges are not readily available on a local basis.

    Pit Mounted Weighbridge Installation

    Weightron have extensive experience in the design, manufacture and installation of pit-mounted weighbridges. We offer a wide range of products including those of welded steel and steel-concrete construction.

    In addition to our range of standard products, we have the manufacturing flexibility to offer bespoke units for your specific application, including designs to fit existing pits, thereby reducing civil engineering costs.

    We have developed special software, which converts a static pit weighbridge into a low speed axle weigher at the touch of a switch. This allows the weighing of vehicles as they drive slowly over the weighbridge (up to 5km/hr).

    Although the overall cost of fitting pit weighbridges can be more expensive than surface weighbridges, they offer a number of advantages, especially in terms of faster vehicle throughput. In addition, because the decks are flush with the road surface, they do not necessarily impede on-site vehicle movement.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a Weighbridge?

      A Weighbridge (US truck scale) is a large, low-profile scale used to weigh both road and off-road vehicles (rigid and articulated lorries, dumper trucks, vans etc) and their contents. The load carried by the vehicle is calculated by weighing the vehicle both empty and loaded. The main weighbridge deck structure can be constructed from steel, pre-stressed concrete or steel-concrete composite.

      What is a Pit-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed inside a pit, these weighbridges sit flush with the road surface. As they don’t require ramps, they take up less road surface compared to surface mount installations. Suitable for sites with restricted access.

      What is a Surface-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed above ground, these weighbridges incorporate steel or concrete ramps to allow vehicles to drive on and off. One advantage is that the ramps slow down vehicle entry speed. Less foundation works are required when compared with pit mount installations. Surface designs are suitable for temporary/portable installations when used with steel ramps.
