1. A system for monitoring payload for a load-lifting vehicle, the vehicle having a lifting arm and a hydraulic actuator operatively connected to the lifting arm, the system comprising:

  • means for correlating actuator pressure within the actuator at a set position of the lifting arm with a known weight for generating a calculated weight of a payload;

    means for generating a payload pattern relating actuator pressure to time as the lifting arm moves the payload through a load cycle; and

    means for comparing the payload pattern with a known, set pattern relating pressure to time corresponding to said calculated weight of the payload and storing the calculated weight of the payload into memory if the deviation between the patterns is equal to or less than a certain amount.
