Inground Weighbridges have the weighbridge deck at ground level with the foundations and loadcells mounted below ground level usually in a confined pit.

This type of weighbridge needs some means of drainage such as a drainage sump and/or pump. It must have an access hatch(s) for servicing and cleaning needs. Typically this type of weighbridge is classed as a restricted space and requires access permits, stand-by personnel and air quality checks before anyone is allowed underneath.

Inground weighbridges claim very little site area, other than the area of the deck itself. This type of weighbridge is ideal for sites that are restricted with usable area or have shared weighing and traffic areas.

The foundations usually include raised kerbing along both sides of the weighbridge deck to ensure the vehicle to be weighed can only enter and leave along the weighbridge axis and over the entry and departure ramps/pads. Please see our alternate listing for flush fit weighbridges (no raised kerbs) for special applications.

Due to the excavation work required for preparation for construction, and additional concrete materials and work required for construction, inground weighbridges are the most expensive weighbridge type to build.
