An apparatus for lifting an aircraft (10) may include a plurality of lifting mechanisms (74) mounted on a supporting surface (64). Each lifting mechanism (74) may be configured to impart an upward force (90) on a component (38) of the aircraft (10) for lifting the aircraft (10) off the supporting surface (64). The apparatus (10) may include a beam structure (100) configured to be mounted to the lifting mechanisms (74). The apparatus (10) may also include a lifting beam (140) suspended from the beam structure (100). A measurement device (178) may be mounted to the lifting beam (140) and may be configured to engage a jack point (54) associated with the component (38) to determine a weight of the aircraft (10) when the aircraft is lifted off the supporting surface (64).
