M2000 (JAWS Aircraft Scales) Features and Specifications *
The Jackson Aircraft / Aircraft Scales M2000 Aircraft Weighing Scale System is a wired digital weighing platform for accurate weight and balance measurements of aircraft. The M2000 series manufactured by Jackson Aircraft Weighing Systems offers several load-cell capacities and configurations for use on light airplanes, helicopters, business jets and larger regional aircraft. Installed with multi-channel digital indicator showing the single weighing points and integrated aircraft weight, ideal for maintenance, modification, inspection as well as weight-and-balance check process. According to Jackson, its aircraft weighing systems have been manufactured for the aviation and aerospace sector since 1993.
The Aircraft Scales M2000 price and features make it a very attractive option compared to similar weighing system / scales available on the market. Request a quote now.
Features and Benefits
- Independent load cell digital multi-channel reading to show the weight of each cell and total airplane weight.
- lbs/kg conversion operates domestic and international applications.
- Various capacity options enable the system to accommodate various aircraft sizes.
- Load-cell and platform configurations offering jack-point or wheel weighing.
- Fast sampling rate means weight readings are instantaneous at setup.
- Wired design connects the indicator to load cells reliably.
- Professional grade support of aviation weight-and-balance requirements with NIST-traceable calibration.
- Portable kits make it easy to maneuver the system from hangars and at maintenance sites.
- Multi-point calibration allows for accurate measurements across the weighing range.

Jackson says its standard M2000 load-cell systems are offered in capacities of 5,000 lb per cell upward into large-aircraft configurations. The 100,000 lb system–marketed specifically for regional jets both through Airbus and Boeing applications–is complemented by Jackson's own 200,000 lb-per-cell version for higher individual-point capacity applications.
M2000-CSLC Series — Large-Format Load Cell Systems
For aircraft with larger jack points, these utilize more ample load-cell surfaces.

|
The M2000-3-50CSLC, as identified by Jackson for large jets such as the Gulfstream IV/V and Falcon 900 types and smaller regional jet families including EMB 135/145 is designed primarily around jack points on larger aircraft.
M2000-KP Series — Roll-On Platform Systems
This is ideal for aircraft that are easier to weigh directly on the wheels instead of jacks.

The standard 2,300-kg (5,070-lb.) payload capacity of the Jackson KP systems comes across three roll-on platforms. Both the 10K and 15K versions feature new 12 × 16-inch platforms which is about 3.25 inches high with a system of approach ramps are served using 30-inch ones in length.
M2000-LPKP Series — Low-Profile Platform Systems
It is designed to ease wheel positioning by reducing the height to which the aircraft has to climb onto the scale.

At just 1.1 inches high, M2000-3-15LPKP platforms can be combined with ramp options to provide this configuration where conventional platform height or ramp angle could present challenges.
M2000 Large Aircraft / Under-Axle Series
Jackson designs specific M2000 variants for commercial transports and other large aircraft. Because the number and capacity of weighting points can vary by aircraft type, these are to be kept separate from the three-point CS systems.
