Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2527786A1] An overload indicator for a load supporting apparatus is arranged to bend during overloading of the apparatus, thereby visually indicating the overload to a user or observer. The indicator features a longitudinal member having a U- shaped cross section defining one central and two side portions. A series of slots extend into each side portion from a side opposite the central portion such that th e member will bend concavely with respect to that side, moving opposite ends of the member closer together. The indicator is arranged to extend between connection poin ts on a first member and a second load supporting member of the apparatus in order t o bend in response to excessive loading of the second member. The bending move s the connection points of the two members closer together, thus bringing the load closer to the first member.
