A scale on a fork-lift comprising of at least one cantilevered beam tine (18) supported by a rigid member (20) near one end of the cantilevered beam. A weighing platform (16) is positioned above the beam (18) for supporting the load. The platform (16) is supported by at least two load cells (34a, 34b) located between the beam (18) and the platform (16). At least one of the supporting load cells (34a) is located on the beam either at the point of attachment of the rigid member (20), or between the point of attachment and the end (24) of the cantilevered beam opposite the free end (22) of the beam, in order to reduce the bending of the cantilevered beam tine and thereby increase the maximum load carrying capacity of the fork-lift. |
