Benefits:

Belt squats are different from regular squat exercise or deadlifts and are a secret to gaining strength for not only weightlifters and powerlifters but also women who have had multiple children and those with a weaker core. It is useful for athletes with tricky backs and shoulders or tight elbows as it allows the practitioner to load the lower body without loading the spine or using the upper body.

It emphasises hip extension and provides many of the stability and balance benefits of the barbell squat. The exercise helps to work around an injury, train legs without loading the spine a lot, it a great alternative for barbell squats if the core is too fatigued and perfect for a high intensity, balls-to-the-wall leg workout without the injury risk or exacting form requirements of barbell squats.
