Abstract: A vehicle scale is disclosed having a weighbridge supported on a bed. It is characterized in that three load cells for sensing both upward and downward forces relative to the weighbridge at their opposite ends are secured between the weighbridge and the bed in such a manner that straight lines drawn from each load cell to each of the two remaining define a triangular surface whereby the weighbridge is able, together with the load cells, to respond not only to weight but also to the overturning moments which arise when the weight resultant of a vehicle standing on the weighbridge in order to be weighed lies outside the triangular surface.
