[0016] The example of execution presents a weighing platform with a latticed load-bearing structure which consists of a load-bearing shell 1, lattice structure 2, two profile panels 3, measurement elements 4, regulated feet 5 and connectors 6. The latticed structure 2 consists of two load-bearing elements 7, and connecting elements 8, which are intersecting and their ends are fixed to the joint frame 9. The load-bearing shell 1 is a uniform steel shell. In a different variant the load-bearing shell 1 may be divided. It may also be made of another material, for example aluminium or composite. The load-bearing elements are flat profiles, whereas in the latticed structure 2 the shorter sides of those flat profiles are placed perpendicularly to the plain of the load-bearing shell 1. Along the upper edge of the load-bearing elements 7 placed in such a manner, there are cuts 7.1 executed at distances. The spacing of cuts 7.1 depends on the density of placement of the connecting elements 8. The cuts are placed at the depth g equal to the height h of the connecting elements 8 less than half of the height H of the load-bearing elements 7 and adjusted to the width and shape of the connecting profile 8, which allows for press fitting those elements with each other at the points of intersection and ensured proper sturdiness of the structure. The connecting profiles 8 are round bars. At the bottom of the structure 2, near the opposite sides of the frame 9, two C-shaped profile panels 3 are installed with their arms in the direction towards the ground. Each profile panel 3 features two openings 10 for regulated feet 5 and openings 11 for screw connectors 6, whereas the nut 6.1 of connectors 6 are fixed to the load-bearing shell 1. The measurement elements 4 are fixed to the channel profiles 3, which elements in various execution variants may be optoelectronic measurement systems or beam measurement systems with the application of tensometric beams or polymeric measurement beams. In the load-bearing shell 1 there are openings 12 for regulation of the positioning of feet 5.

[0017] In the next execution example the weighing platform, just as in the first example, may be equipped with a covering 13 place on top of the load-bearing shell 1.

[0018] In other execution examples the weighing platform may be a combination of the possible variants, that is: [0019] the profile panels 3 may be C-shaped profiles with open arms or they may be closed. [0020] the profile panels 3 may be situated perpendicularly to each other. [0021] the load-bearing elements may be T-shaped or C-shaped profiles. [0022] the connecting profiles may be flat, T-shaped or C-shaped. [0023] the load-bearing structure may be made of steel or aluminium.

[0024] The described latticed load-bearing structure 2 constitutes a separate elements of the weighing platform and it may be executed at a plant. Joining of the load-bearing elements 7 with the connecting elements 8 into one latticed structure may be executed by means of press fitting or it may be additionally reinforced in case of larger structures by means of welding or heat-bonding on a machine. In the manufacturing process the load-bearing elements 7 and the connecting elements 8 made of steel profiles are additionally protected with an anti-corrosion coating. By means of a computer software the location of installation of the profile panels 3 with measurement elements 4 are determined.
