May 11, 2020
Minneapolis, MN – May 12, 2020 – Intercomp, the world’s leading manufacturer of aircraft scales, announced that its AC60-LP™ Low-Profile Scale System has been selected by Citadel Completions LLC, a premier provider of luxury interior completions on narrow- and wide-body aircraft.
Citadel Completions, based in Lake Charles, LA, focuses its business on aircraft ranging from B737 and A320 models to larger airframes such as the B747, B767, B787, A330, A340 and A380. The company provides VVIP/VIP interiors on new or repurposed aircraft for customers including private entities, government/heads of state and corporate protocol operators, and offers a complete range of MRO services.
“The unique nature of the Citadel Completions business requires a very robust, portable scale system with a large platform size,” said Jon Arnold, Market Specialist at Intercomp. “The AC60-LP™ is the newest generation of our high-capacity strain gauge technology that accommodates a wide range of airframes and meets the demands of their dynamic weighing and balancing challenges introduced by widespread modifications to an aircraft interior.”
With a business vision that promises dramatically reduced time for project completion, Citadel expressed requirements upmost reliability, versatility and readiness in their scale system. Intercomp’s solid-state load cell technology eliminates scale warm-up time, mitigates side loads and removes the need for centering of tires on the active weighing platform. The scale is deployed both in the daily work of the business, but also as a revenue generator in their MRO services. Arnold noted that Intercomp was selected based upon the customer’s confidence in the accuracy and uptime reliability of the AC60-LP platform, its airframe versatility to accommodate models ranging from the B737 to A380, and the fact that Intercomp is the widely-acknowledged standard in use among major airlines, MROs and airframe manufacturers worldwide. Additionally, Intercomp was willing and able to provide a flexible split delivery to deliver necessary components of the purchase for an immediate project need.
