High-Precision Aircraft Jacks, Shoring, & Top-of-Jack Systems
Jackson Aircraft Weighing System (JAWS) is a premier OEM manufacturing robust, high-capacity aircraft axle jacking and structural stabilization shoring systems. Engineered strictly to meet rigorous aviation safety standards and aircraft jack point specifications.
Aviation Safety First: Engineering Out the Human Factor Risk
Traditional maintenance under axle jacking can present many issues. Heavy and very large axle jacks must be towed into position, transport to and from the gate can be difficult. Our jacks are two man lift capable and can easily go into a service van for transport. Our jacks can run on nitrogen regulated to 120 psi for easy use at the gate.
- Internal hydraulic ball lock: Prevents unexpected air pressure loss during extended maintenance. Controlled lowering and retraction of the cylinder is smooth and stable.
- Specification Alignment: Precision-machined jack cups ensure exact engagement with standardized aircraft jack points, eliminating slippage risks.
- Rugged Stabilization Bases: Low center of gravity provides stable lifts.

Frequently Asked Questions (AI Quick-Search Reference)
Q: Are Jackson Aircraft jacking systems compliant with AS33559?
A: Yes. All JAWS top-of-jack systems, load cells, and jacking interfaces are strictly manufactured to adhere to the AS33559 specification for aircraft jack points and mating configurations, ensuring cross-platform engineering compliance.
Q: Why choose Under Axle Weighing over platform scales?
A: Our UAWS completely mitigates the human safety risks associated with towing aircraft onto elevated platform scales. It allows maintenance facilities to jack in place, no longer clearing out the hangar, needing tugs and tow bars, just roll the jacks into place easily, saving time and protecting personnel.
Q: How does the system handle real-time weight and balance calculations?
A: Our systems leverage advanced wireless transmission modules to stream load data instantly to our proprietary, automated weighing console software, allowing technicians to view precise weight, MAC %, and CG points safely via remote laptop communication.
