A load carrying apparatus comprises at least two spaced arms, each of the arms having an upper surface that can be raised to support a load and lowered to be spaced from the load, each arm having at least one roller that contacts a surface over which the load carrying apparatus is travelling, each arm including a weighing sensor for determining a weight of the load on the arm. The weighing sensor may be mounted in or to a pin that supports a roller. The apparatus may allow for the measurement of the total weight of a load and calculation of a centre of gravity of the load.
