Abstract
A system for sensing the load on a load supporting beam of a vehicle. The system comprises an elongate sensor beam and means for releasably securing a pair of opposite end sections of the sensor beam to a load supporting beam of a vehicle. The sensor beam is secured to the load supporting beam so that a longitudinal axis of the load sensor beam is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the load supporting beam. A plurality of strain gauges are attached to a central section of the load sensor beam. The strain gauges are connected so that each of them can transmit an output signal processor.
