IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO AXLE LOAD MONITORING SYSTEMS Abstract of the Disclosure The present specification discloses a load monitoring system for use on road vehicles. The system monitors the deflection of an axle when under load and comprises at least one load monitoring device for mounting on the axle, at least one pair of strain gauge elements forming the or each load monitoring device, the strain gauge elements of each pair being arranged to measure strain in different directions, an amplifier connected to at least one load monitoring device and adapted to emit a signal dependent upon the load, a comparator circuit connected to the amplifier, and an alarm, the comparator circuit being arranged to activate the alarm should the signal received from the amplifier exceed a predetermined value. Preferably the comparator circuit is adapted to both emit a continuous sign when the system is energised and the load on the axle is smaller than a pre- determined weight, and to change said signal to another signal when said load exceeds said predetermined weight, the signal being used to control the alarm.
