1. A vehicle for handling a load the vehicle comprising:
a chassis;
a load-lifting arm mounted on the chassis and able to pivot about a pivot axle;
a first device designed to determine a first parameter representative of an angle (Y) of inclination of the arm and corresponding to the angle (Y) formed by the arm with respect to a horizontal plane, wherein the vehicle is positioned on the horizontal plane;
an accessory for receiving the load, the accessory being positioned at a free end of the arm;
an actuator coupled to the chassis and to the arm, the actuator being a lifting actuator designed to drive the arm to pivot about the pivot axle connecting the arm to the chassis; or a compensating actuator;
a second device designed to determine a second parameter representative of a force (R) generated by the arm on the axle connecting the arm to the chassis;
a third device designed to determine a third parameter representative of a combined unladen weight (P) of the arm and the accessory;
a fourth device designed to determine a fourth parameter representative of an angle (α) formed by the lifting actuator with the horizontal plane or an angle (β) formed by the compensating actuator with the horizontal plane;
a fifth device designed to determine a fifth parameter representative of one of a second load generated by the lifting actuator (L) or a third load generated by the compensating actuator (C); and
a weighing system, the weighing system being activatable as a function of the angle (Y), the weighing system comprising a data processing unit configured to determine a weight (M) of the load as a function of one or more of the second parameter, the third parameter, the fourth parameter or the fifth parameter supplied by one or more of the second device, the third device, the fourth device, or the fifth device.
