The level of the mounted plate is the same as that of a road, while its load cells and the wiring are below the ground level. No Incline is needed for truck movement because it is fitted in land surface level. This kind of a setup is most suitable for places with a space constraint, where creating a pit would be cheap. And since the city fulfils both those criteria, you will find more pit type weighbridges in the capital than pit less weighbridges. Advantages are:

• Suitable, if there is space limitation, as the ramp is not required in either side.
