Abstract: Disclosed is a movable load sensor (1) for identifying and monitoring a load on a forklift (7). Said load sensor (1) detects the load, the lifting fork (2), and the environment located in front of the forklift (7). The detected sensor data is then evaluated by means of a computing unit (4). The inventive load sensor (1) is mounted so as to be movable relative to the mast (5) of the forklift (7) in synchrony with the load carrying means (6) while also being movable relative to the load carrying means (6) such that dynamic changes in the surroundings of the forklift (7) can be taken into consideration during the docking process, even in difficult lighting conditions.
