AVIATIONEU NEW ERA Galley Trolleys (Carts) & Accessories
A wide range of equipment & products are used on-board of aircraft, railways, ships or yachts as essential catering aids in serving passengers and crew including galley trolleys, storage containers, oven racks, folding tables, trays, and others. Without them, it would almost be impossible for the cabin crew to perform their serving tasks.
AVIATIONEU NEW ERA galley trolleys (aka carts) are suitable for use in aviation (corporate aircraft, airliners or military aircraft) but also in many other transport applications (such as railways, ships or yachts) for storage and serving food and beverage to the passengers or waste collection. They are offered as cost effective solutions to other competitor products.They roll conveniently through the narrow aisles and with their drawers and pull-outs, they are a mobile storage compartment and flexible counter at the same time. In the on-board kitchen, meal/drink service trolleys fit standardised in the kitchen cells.
Other galley equipment and related items such as food containers, oven racks and trays, drawers and folding tables are also offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines. Please refer to the respective product presentation.
Sourced from quality manufacturers, these trolleys are made to industry's standards such as ATLAS and KSSU(*), when intended for aircraft use, and they are approved by FAA, EASA, CAAC, and/or other Civil Aviation Authorities (**).
Aluminum alloy is used to keep them light-weight. Both Full Size and Half Size trolleys are offered, the latter designed for use in narrow aisles. They all feature a durable construction, spacious capacity, double wheels for mobility through the cabin, a rugged brake assembly, and secure latching.
Those designed for serving meals and drinks have rows of integrated shelf supports (guides) allowing for storage of food trays and their easy loading and removal. Cart doors can be completely opened (270 degrees, until flush with the side) and kept open by magnets. The back door of the meal carts can be equipped with cool air and hot air windows as per customer requirements. Depending on the selected model, the upper part of the carts can be equipped optionally,with a dry-ice drawer for food/drink cooling during storage when desired. Cart cabinets are insulated to keep the desired temperature of stored items. The door, side panels, bottom and top panel can be disassembled for replacement or maintenance, thus lowering the maintenance cost. The side panels and both of the doors are comprised of a hard foam core sandwiched between powder-coated or PVC-film protected aluminum panels. The inner surface of the side panels is aluminum sheet with integrated drawer guides. The top panel is made of stainless steel.
The trolleys are equipped with a rugged but easy to operate door lock providing capability for attaching a padlock. They feature four double wheels and a rugged brake assembly. Brakes are operated through a pair of red and green pedals for engagement and release respecively.
The waste collection trolleys, like their meal/drink counterparts, are equipped with door locks, and feature four double wheels and brakes operated through a pair of red and green pedals for engagement and release respecively.
They are also made from aluminum alloy and can be furnished with either a top loading or a combined top and door capability. Their hygienic design includes self-closing covers (flaps) at the disposal opening.
Accessories for Galley Trolleys (Carts)
Quarter-turn retainers are commonly used for keeping food carts, containers and other movable cargo immobilized. A quarter turn (90 deg.) rotation physically blocks the rolling cargo securing it into place. Rotation the other way unblocks the cargo. Offered in different styles and sizes they are offered as OEM parts of their respective manufacturers or as parts of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines.
Dry ice, is the solid form of carbon dioxide gas (CO₂), produced by applying high pressure to CO₂. Commonly used for freezing and transporting food, food preservation, medical, cleaning, and many other applications. In aviation, railway and other transport applications, dry ice packs are used with dry ice trays in galley trolleys (carts) to cool stored food and beverages and comply with legislation requirements for their storage and delivery in a germ-free environment. Dry ice is a regulated hazardous material (Class 9) for air travel due to suffocation risk from CO2 buildup in closed spaces, explosion risk if improperly contained, and skin burns from its cryogenic temperature. It should be used with caution and with protection aids such as gloves and safety glasses.
Alternative food refrigeration/preservation materials can be used in lieu of CO₂ dry ice packs including TECHNI ICE Heavy Duty Reusable (HDR) dry ice packs which are not classified as hazardous materials (hazmat). They are made of food-safe, non-toxic polymer that hydrates in water and freezes to very low temperatures, making them safe for food transport and approved by agencies such as the US FDA. They can be supplied in sheets of 24 individual cells per sheet which can be cut to size. They stay frozen for up to 6 times longer than the same volume of ice. Used brand by US DoD, Air Force, Australian Navy, Airlines (Qantas, Air France, KLM …) & other companies and government departments worldwide requiring high level of performance & reliability.

(*) There are different standards used in aviation trolleys, with ATLAS and KSSU standards being the most common ones. The differences are minimal and often difficult to recognize between them. ATLAS standard comes from a European airline alliance (AirFrance (A), UTA (T), Lufthansa (L), Alitalia (A) and Sabena (S)) which has agreed on a uniform standard for certain trolley components/accessories. Predominantly implemented, this standard can be regarded as a future standard. KSSU standard, established by other airlines including KLM (K), SAS (S) and Swissair (S), is also widely used for aircraft trolleys and their accessories but is not compatible with ATLAS standard. Therefore, an ATLAS insert fits into a KSSU trolley, but a KSSU insert does not fit into an ATLAS standard trolley, since KSSU standard insert is 3 mm wider.
(**) The trolleys are accompanied with Manufacturer Certificate of Conformance (CoC) as standard. Any other certification, as specified, is offered on demand.
