Abstract
In a method of weighing a load on a balance (1), the load is passed between three different locations, i.e., a stationary holding location (17), a load-handling device, and a load-receiver portion of the balance. At least one of the locations has vertically stacked load-receiving positions. The load receiving positions are horizontally cantilevered forks or beams on which the weighing loads are either set down or suspended.
