Abstract: A device 1 includes a carrying body for carrying a load. The carrying body includes a first wall 3 which receives the load and an opposite second wall 2. Between the first wall and the second wall is a space in which a force sensor is provided. A part of the force sensor 4 is coupled to the second wall 2 and the other part of the force sensor extends beyond an edge of the second wall 2 so that the force sensor has some freedom to bend. An at least partially bendable force transmission body 5 is fixed to the first wall 3 and extends in a cavity 6 in the other part of the force sensor. Owing to the force transmission body 5 the force sensor is loaded only in a direction to which the force sensor is tuned.

Abstract: A Lift truck with a lifting device comprises at least one lifting member (1) provided with lifting means for adjusting the lifting member in height direction. The lifting member (1) comprises a shell part (50) lying over a base part (2) and having a surface on which cargo can be received. The shell part supports from a pressure point on the base part (2) via an electronic force sensor (10). The force sensor (10) is able and configured to determine vertical load on the shell part (50) and to generate an electronic signal as measure thereof, and comprises for this purpose pressure and/or strain-sensitive sensor means.

Abstract: A hand lift truck comprises a rolling frame (10 . . . 13) with at least one height-adjustable load platform (11,12) for receiving a cargo thereon. Electronic weighing means (70) are herein provided to determine a mechanical deformation of a part (13) of the frame resulting from a loading of the load platform and to determine therefrom a weight indication of an actual loading of the load platform and to display this to a user on a display panel (85). According to the invention height-indicating means which indicate the reference height are provided in the form of an electronic sensor (88) which determines a height adjustment of the load platform by electronic means and generates an electronic height signal thereof to electronic processing means. The processing means determine therefrom an actual height of the load platform and are coupled to signalling means for the purpose, at least when the reference height is reached, of generating an indication thereof the user.

Abstract: A mobile lifting device comprises a mobile frame (1, 12, 13) with a set of lift forks (3) for receiving a pallet thereon. The pallet truck is provided with a weighing device which comprises at least one pressure or strain-sensitive sensor (20) in addition to a display panel (21) for indicating thereon a value measured by the sensor. The sensor is connected firmly to a pan (12) of the frame and able to determine a mechanical deformation in that part of the frame. The weighing device comprises this sensor.
