ABSTRACT:
A weight sensing means for a forklift includes an elongated sleeve having a closed end and an open end in communication with an interior chamber. The interior chamber is dimensioned to receive a forklift lifting member. A weight sensing means is received within the interior chamber and is attached to the inner surface of the sleeve. The weight sensing means is in communication with a display means mounted on the forklift dashboard allowing a forklift operator to readily determine the weight of an object resting on the forklift blades. The weight sensing means is also in communication with an audible alarm means to alert a user whenever the lifting capacity of the forklift has been exceeded.
