This invention relates generally to a monitoring system of a material transfer vehicle. The present invention can be applied in weighing a load of the vehicle and in monitoring physical stability of the vehicle. The material transfer vehicle may be e.g. a wheel loader, a forklift, an excavator, a dumper, a forwarder, a harvester, a crane, a passenger hoist, a timber jack, or a truck such as a fire truck, a forklift truck, a pallet truck, a reach truck, or a garbage truck. The object of the invention is met by a solution, wherein a material transfer vehicle has at least one sensor for weighing and at least one sensor for measuring acceleration and/or angle of the vehicle or part of the vehicle in order to compensate the weighing data. In the inventive system a same part is used for both weighing a load of the carrying means and for monitoring a risk of overturning.
