Above-ground weighbridges are the most simplest type of weighbridge to construct. This makes them the least expensive type of weighbridge, and the most common installed.

An above-ground weighbridge requires a ramp at one or both ends to access the weighbridge deck's weighing surface. Because of the ramps, and including any vehicle turning circles, overall, the above-ground weighbridge type claims more site area than any other type of weighbridge.
