Patent
CA 2045771
The invention relates to the weighing of material being lifted by the fork of a truck or the like. The weight of a mass which is being lifted, i.e. by the fork of a truck, may be usefully determined by means of strain gauges which are functionally interrelated with the lifting element. The invention provides, in combination, mass support means, vehicle means and arm means which interconnect the mass support means with the vehicle means for relative movement therebetween. Strain gauges are carried by the arm means. In preferred embodiments, eight strain gauges are carried by a pair of generally upside down U shaped supports to which the fork is pivotally cantilevered, two strain gauges being matted on a front arm and two strain gauges on a back arm of each of the supports.
