AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Aircraft Scale

The AC40-LP™ 15" x 22" (381 x 559 mm) scale is designed to eliminate the need for long ramps and reduces overall towing distance.  With a platform and capacities large enough to accommodate the main gear of a B767, this aircraft scale is able to handle most any job.

At Intercomp, we manufacture AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Aircraft Scales that utilize integrated shear beam load cells to meet accuracy and performance standards set by US and European government metrology authorities. Intercomp’s GaugeSense™ technology includes fully electronic shear beam load cells with state-of-the-art strain gauge load sensing and electronics. These mitigate the effects of side and rotational forces, and load cells are linearized to deliver accurate and repeatable results through the entire range of capacity.

AC40-LP™ Low-Profile Platform Scales Advantages

The AC40-LP™ combines aviation industry leading accuracy in a platform that weighs just 49 lb (22 kg). The low scale height minimizes towing distance, saving valuable space in an aircraft hangar.

Each scale contains an easy to read 1" (25 mm) high LCD with back light. On board diagnostics continuously monitor the status of the scale, while built-in temperature compensation and digital filtering provide stable readings with excellent zero return for added assurance in your readings. Additional AC40-LP™ benefits include:

• Platform Weighs only 49 lb (22 kg) 
• Low-Profile, 1.7" (43 mm) Scale Height
• Integrated RFX® Wireless Weighing Technology
• Temperature Compensation, Auto Leveling & Auto Calibration Correction 
• Certified Intrinsically Safe Scales Available

Intercomp AC40-LP™ platform scale systems are used for fixed or rotary wing aircraft with wheel weights up to 40,000 lb (20,000 kg). Using AC40-LP™ low-profile aircraft scales, the process of deploying ramps, scales, and overrun spacers takes a matter of minutes. The following applications reflect the broad use potential of Intercomp’s AC40-LP™ platform scales.

Intrinsically Safe Scales in Aircraft Hangars

Areas immediately around aircraft have the potential of fuel or fumes to be present, and this needs to be accounted for when servicing aircraft. Widely recognized at the global leader in fully electronic wireless aircraft platform scales, Intercomp has received ATEX EX certification for the range of wireless platform scales. 

Platform Weighing of RQ-4 Global Hawk UAVs with AC40-LP™

For almost 20 years, RQ-4 UAVs have been weighed on Intercomp’s Intrinsically Safe low-profile platform scales. Highly accurate weight and balance data for the fueled aircraft is provided by certified Intrinsically Safe scales to meet safety standards around the world for aircraft hangars

Platform Weighing of Narrowbody Aircraft with AC40-LP™

AC40-LP™ low-profile scales provide airframe manufacturers, airlines and MROs with standardized platform weighing and reports that rely on decades of repeatability, and reliability, of Intercomp aircraft scales.

Customized Aircraft Scale Systems

When their team at the Wallops Flight Facility secured a new contract to support the missions of the US Navy, US Air Force, and NASA, with a unique fleet of three aircraft, Yulista Tactical Services reached out to Intercomp for aircraft scales which could meet the accuracy requirements of the contract.
