  1. Purpose • To provide information on commercially available weighing systems for aircraft and ground systems.

  2. Ground equipment and vehicle Axle Scale

  3. Background • MCAS Beaufort does not have an in-ground or mobile axle scale. • The nearest scales are located at a truck weigh station in Georgia, approximately 1 hour from the air station. • This squadron currently utilizes individual wheel scales to weigh all equipment, which is a timely process, causing significant delays in the throughput process.

  4. Background • During axles scale testing, a scale site was established, the squadron was able to weigh 25 items of rolling stock and containers significantly faster than the current method. • It took 3 hours from set up to tear down. Using the current method, this would have taken 6-8 hours.
