You need something like this
Note: you need both the load cell and the gauge. The load cell takes all the load, and converts it to a voltage that the gauge can measure. You buy the load cell in the weigh range you are dealing with.
If you are messing with hundreds of pounds, you need to be careful. Thats a lot of force, and injuries and property damage can result.
