Abstract: A weighing apparatus is put forward for weighing a load carried by a load support provided with front and rear wheel assemblies each having at least one member which deforms as a result of the load. The apparatus comprises a plurality of strain transducers to be affixed respectively to the members. Each of the transducers includes a pair of spaced apart brackets to be fixedly secured to the corresponding member such that their upper ends come closer to one another when the corresponding member is deformed, and an elongated load cell having opposite ends attached respectively to the upper ends of the brackets. The load cell is provided with strain sensing elements for producing an electrical strain signal indicative of a strain variation substantially along a longitudinal axis of the load cell.
