Abstract
A vehicle overload detector characterized as mechanism which, after installation, is calibrated to a preselected initial setting, where upon loading a vehicle, the resulting metered deflection visibly advises the operator of any possible overload condition. Restated otherwise, the mechanism measures vehicle frame deflection, employing two cables, oppositely wound around a control pulley, for establishing the aforesaid initial setting and the deflected setting, respectively.
