Abstract: The invention relates to a load-measuring device for load-bearing elements of elevators. Said load-measuring device consists of floor frame (4) on which a load-measuring element (8) is supported, and a floor (9) which rests on said load-measuring element (8). The load-measuring element (8) consists essentially of two torsion elements (13), each with an upper and lower, linearly shaped element (12, 14). Said linearly shaped elements (12, 14) are mutually horizontally offset from each other and provide the support for the floor (9). A cross member (16) extends between the torsion elements (13) at a right angle thereto. The weight to which the mutually horizontally offset upper and lower linearly shaped elements (13, 14) are subjected causes torques in the torsion elements (13) and, as a result, a deflection in the cross member (16). The extent of said deflection is detected by a bend sensor (17) and is conveyed to the elevator control system in the form of an electrical signal.
