ULP410
Ultra-Low Profile ULP410 – The ULP410 is 1 inch in height, so no ramps are needed. It is lightweight, weighing only 23 lbs. and is easily transported to the weighing site. The ULP410 platforms have a capacity of up to 10,000 pounds each and have a guaranteed accuracy of +/- 0.1% of applied load.
ULP LITE
UAV Ultra-Low Profile ULP Lite – The ULP Lite features Ultra-Sensors, patented technology in each platform make the ULP Lite the lightest, most accurate UAV scale of it’s type in the world. Resolution can be configured to read in tenths (1/10) of a pound. At only .80 inches high, no ramps are needed and each platform weighs only 23 pounds so your weighing kit is easily deployed. The ULP Lite platforms have a capacity from 0 – 5,000 pounds with unmatched accuracy.
Aircraft Platform Scales Made and Serviced in the USA
Operators must verify that aircraft are well-balanced, and this process demands reliable and accurate scales. For over 40 years, General Electrodynamics Corporation has built portable aircraft scales trusted by commercial, military, and OEM teams in 140+ countries. Explore your options for user-friendly aircraft weighing systems.
Understanding Aircraft Platform Scales
Portable aircraft platform scales streamline the process of weighing aviation technology. These scales allow users to roll the aircraft onto the weighing surface without any need for jacking. We offer the lowest platform heights, making weighing operations faster, easier, and safer.
Platform Scales vs. Jack Weighing Systems
The differences between common methods for weighing aircraft and parts are as follows:
- Platform scales: Weighing an aircraft with a platform scale requires users to roll aircraft onto scales at each wheel which record weight data. This minimizes the possibility of aircraft damage and makes them simple to deploy, operate, and store.
- Jack weighing systems: To use jack weighing systems, operators must use specialized jacks at lifting points across an aircraft’s exterior. Weight data is recorded through a load cell placed at the top of each jack and is used to calculate weight and balance information.
