The weight of items carried by a fork lift truck may be measured by this fork lift scale. This fork lift scale consists of horizontally disposed load sensors connecting a crossbar frame to the crossbars of the fork lift truck. Forks are supported by the crossbar frame. Strain gages are mounted on the load sensors to sense the weight of items carried on the forks. The strain gages are mounted to sense vertical shear or bending in the load sensors. The strain gages are positioned on the load sensors and are electrically interconnected so that types of loading, other than vertical loading due to the weight of items placed on the forks, are rejected and not measured by this fork lift scale.
