The difference between each weighbridge is relatively simple. A pit mounted weighbridge is exactly that, a weighbridge that sits in a pit. All of the mechanisms, wiring, and load cells reside underground, allowing the weighing surface to be completely level with the ground.
A surface mounted weighbridge simply sits on top of the ground. It requires ramps for vehicles to drive on top of the weighbridge
Orthotropic weighbridges civil work cost effective that traditional I-beam weighbridges.
They have higher pressure bearing quality and higher life expectancy.
They have robust construction and are effcient to directly bear vehicular loads.
NO CORROSION: The less open space accessible in the orthotropic design helps in avoiding air and water to come inside. This way the beam is resistant to the corrosion that can occur and affect the performance of entire weighbridge.
EASY TRANSPORT: They can be transported effortlessly as can be consumed inside standard measured trucks. They play a major role in interstate domestic and export orders as transport becomes easy.
LONGER LIFE: The closed rib design resists metal fatigue because there are no welds in the areas of the bridge that experience greatest stress. These continuous welds also increase the life of weighbridge.
HIGHER ACCURACY: The closed-rib orthotropic section geometry offers even load distribution throughout the structure. When there is concentrated loading on the structure, there is minimum defection and the load is always transferred vertically on the load cells. This results in highly accurate weighment.
