Quick answer

A pit-type weighbridge sits in a drained pit so its deck is level with the ground. Trucks can drive on from any side and no ramps are needed, which suits tight plots. It needs excavation, retaining walls and drainage. Symphony builds them from 10 to 100 MT with steel or RCC decks.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is water kept out of the pit?

The pit has a drainage slope and sump as per our drawing. Keep the drain clear; we check it during AMC visits.

Is a pit-type weighbridge more expensive?

The deck is similar, but the civil work is larger because of excavation, retaining walls and drainage.

What warranty do you give?

Every Symphony weighbridge carries a 1-year warranty on the platform, load cells and electronics. Concrete (RCC) platforms also carry a 25-year structural warranty on the concrete.

How soon can you deliver?

Generally about 2 weeks from a commercially cleared order with your purchase order. Installation, calibration and stamping follow once the foundation is ready.

What is the difference between a pit-less and a pit-type weighbridge?

A pit-less deck stands above ground on concrete pedestals and uses approach ramps. A pit-type deck sits flush with the ground in a drained pit, so vehicles can enter from any side. Pit-less is faster and simpler to build; pit-type suits tight plots.
