A receiving vehicle is automatically identified and the number of times it is filled is automatically counted. Control signals can be generated based on the number of times the receiving vehicle is filled.

The invention relates to apparatus for use in the movement of goods and includes a transportable goods storage area or trailer. The trailer can be moved to a position adjacent a platform of lifting apparatus to allow goods to be moved to and from the trailer. A bridging assembly including one or more bridge portions is provided to form a bridge between the plat form and floor of the trailer. In one embodiment weight detection means are provided to allow the weight of the transportable goods storage area or trailer, and the goods therein, to be detected and compared to predetermined weight limits.

A load sensor disposed between an air suspension assembly of a vehicle and a vehicle suspension, wherein the load sensor generates a load signal which varies based on an amount of force transferred from said vehicle frame to said vehicle suspension, wherein the load signal can be received by a load calculator to allow calculation of the load exerted from said vehicle frame to the vehicle suspension.

A trailer includes: a chassis; a floating coupling apparatus coupled to the chassis, a portion of the floating coupling apparatus configured to move in a vertical direction relative to the chassis; a kingpin attached to the floating coupling apparatus; a displacement-sensing device positioned between an attachment portion on the chassis and an attachment portion on the floating coupling apparatus, the displacement-sensing device configured to sense a load acting on the displacement-sensing device; and a fluid system in fluid communication with the displacement-sensing device.

A controller (21) of a hydraulic excavator (1) performs a first determination of determining whether or not loading of an object to be worked onto a dump truck (2) by the hydraulic excavator has been conducted based on a posture of a work implement (12), calculates a first load that is a load of the object to be worked loaded onto the dump truck by the hydraulic excavator based on a thrust force of a boom cylinder (16) and on a determination result of the first determination, performs a third determination of determining whether or not the first load is to be integrated based on a determination result of a second determination of determining whether or not the loading of the object to be worked onto the dump truck by the hydraulic excavator has been conducted that is transmitted from a controller (40) of the dump truck and on the determination result of the first determination, and calculates a loaded weight on the dump truck by integrating the first load in a case where it is determined by the third determination that the first load is to be integrated.
