In pit type of weighbridge, the cost of making the foundation is more if compared with pit less type weighbridge. The portability of the system is nil as this system cannot be moved to new places easily hence, it should be installed at a place where it can remain there for years to come.

The system is typically a Steel platform mounted on load cells which are mounted in the pit on concrete pillars. The system can be 4,6,8,10 load cell based and is a fully digital system. There are no moving parts in fully electronic Pit type weighbridge hence there is no need of periodical servicing or calibration. It can give the user trouble free and maintenance free operation for years.

This type of Weighbridge is useful where less rainfall takes place. In heavy rain fall prone areas, the pit will get full of rainwater and hence there will be continuous need to empty the pit otherwise if the water level raises to the level of load cells, it can damage the load cells permanently.
