Lift truck and lifting member

Lift truck with a lifting device comprising at least one lifting member provided with lifting means for adjusting the lifting member in height direction, wherein the lifting member comprises a shell part lying over a base part and having a surface for receiving a cargo thereon, and wherein the shell part supports from a pressure point on the base part via an electronic force sensor, this force sensor being able and configured to determine a vertical load on the shell part and to generate an electronic signal as measure thereof, and comprising for this purpose pressure and/or strain-sensitive sensor means, wherein in a longitudinal direction of the lifting member directed transversely of the vertical load there is provided between the sensor means and the pressure point a mechanical deformation zone which is able and configured to deform in at least substantially wholly elastic manner, under the influence of a force effect exerted thereon in the longitudinal direction, from a rest state to a state deformed in the longitudinal direction, wherein the lifting member comprises a body part distally of the sensor means, between the shell part and the base part, which is coupled functionally to the sensor means and the shell part and comprises the deformation zone, and wherein the body part comprises as deformation zone a weakened portion over at least substantially a full width which allows an at least partial displacement in the longitudinal direction of a portion of the body part coupled to the shell part distally of the weakened portion relative to a portion of the body part coupled to the sensor means proximally of the weakened portion.
