A Lift truck with a lifting device comprises at least one lifting member (1) provided with lifting means for adjusting the lifting member in height direction. The lifting member (1) comprises a shell part (50) lying over a base part (2) and having a surface on which cargo can be received. The shell part supports from a pressure point on the base part (2) via an electronic force sensor (10). The force sensor (10) is able and configured to determine vertical load on the shell part (50) and to generate an electronic signal as measure thereof, and comprises for this purpose pressure and/or strain-sensitive sensor means. In a longitudinal direction of the lifting member directed transversely of the vertical load there is provided between the sensor means and the pressure point a mechanical deformation zone (31,32,33) which is able and configured to deform in at least substantially wholly elastic manner, under the influence of a force effect exerted thereon in the longitudinal direction, from a rest state to a state deformed in the longitudinal direction.
