ABSTRACT:
A load-monitoring vehicle suspension including a pair of wheel assemblies carried adjacent the opposite ends of a flexible transversal beam which supports the bed in the vehicle. This beam extends transversely of the bed's longitudinal axis, and supports the bed through two spaced journal connections which are disposed inwardly of the wheel assemblies, and which provide for the beam spaced journal axes that generally parallel the bed's longitudinal axis and intersect the beam's longitudinal axis. Load carried on the bed causes the beam to deflect substantially in pure bending, and such deflection is monitored by a strain-sensitive device mounted centrally on the beam.
