Abstract: A pallet truck with a fork member movable in an up-and-down manner is provided with a plurality of load cells on the tines of the fork member for weighing loads carried by the pallet truck. Each load cell is mounted by a tine of the fork member, over which tine is floatingly mounted an elongated floating member extending substantially along the entire length of the respective tine member. Each floating member is supported by at least one ball bearing operatively associated with at least one load cells on the tine. A crosspiece is provided interconnecting the ends of the two floating members adjacent the main frame of the pallet truck, which crosspiece is fixedly secured to the ends of the floating members in order to provide stability and increased inertia to the entire floating mechanism. The ball bearings associated with the load cells are mounted adjacent a respective inner side-edge surface of the tine member, so that a wooden pallet with load may be more accurately weighed.
