(Purpose) A construction for mounting a load-sensing element for use with a vehicle, in which construction no measurement error is resulted even if the slide plate contacts the leaf spring at different contacting points. (Construction) The sensing element 21 is composed of opposed walls forming a substantially U-shape in both front and side views thereof and having a hollow portion therein, and a plate-like member made of a magnetic material, which plate-like member being inserted into the hollow portion and threaded by a coil to be held therein, wherein the mounting location 15f of the slide plate 15 is a groove into which said sensing element 21 is fitted; wherein the construction further includes a lid which fits over the sensing element and a wedge-like key inserted under the sensing element for fixing the sensing element. The output of the sensing elements are added together so as to output a sum of the outputs of the sensing elements.
