Claim 16:
17. A suspendable scale for weighing a bundle, comprising:
a first part for suspending the scale from a structure supporting the scale;
a second part for suspending an implement from the scale;
a third part joining the first part and second part, arranged to change shape from an effect of the implement acting on the first part and second part and caused by a bundle to be hoisted by the implement, the first part, second part, and third part being at least partly radially nesting relative to one another;
at least two strain gauges connected to the third part to form measurement data on forces acting on each strain gauge, on basis of deformation of the third part;
a wireless transmitter for sending the measurement data to an operator;
a self-powered power supply for feeding an electric current to the strain gauges and the wireless transmitter;
a first space is formed in the scale to integrate the wireless transmitter inside the scale and
a second space to integrate the self-powered power supply inside the scale, wherein the first space and second space are identical in surface area and shape in direction of a plane of the scale.
