Galley Trolleys, Carts & Inserts
The rolling and modular hardware that fills an aircraft galley: ATLAS- and KSSU-standard meal and beverage trolleys, half- and full-size carts, standard units (SUs), drawers, bar boxes and the structural galley inserts that bolt into the ARINC galley shell. Every unit is weight-optimised, latch-secured for taxi/take-off/landing loads and certified to aviation fire standards. Buyers are airline cabin-procurement teams and the catering operators who physically load them. This is the highest-volume consumable-capital line in catering equipment — fleets cycle thousands of trolleys, and retrofit or galley-refit programmes drive repeat demand across both narrow- and wide-body cabins.
"Emirates Flight Catering (180,000+ meals/day at DXB) and dnata cycle vast trolley fleets; Korita Aviation (now Safran Cabin) supplies ATLAS-standard trolleys into the region. Gulf carriers' A380 and 777-9 wide-body galleys make trolley standardisation and retrofit a recurring DXB/AUH/DOH procurement line."

Why it matters in Gulf aviation
- Vast trolley fleets at scale: major Gulf catering operations cycle large trolley fleets daily, and wide-body galleys make trolley standardisation and retrofit a recurring DXB/AUH/DOH procurement line.
- Highest-volume catering line: fleets cycle thousands of ATLAS- and KSSU-standard trolleys, so retrofit and galley-refit programmes drive repeat demand across narrow- and wide-body cabins.
- Safety-certified hardware: every unit is weight-optimised, latch-secured for taxi/take-off/landing loads and certified to aviation fire standards.

Key evaluation criteria for Gulf procurement
- Standard — confirm ATLAS or KSSU compatibility with your existing galley fleet and loading workflow.
- Size and configuration — specify half- vs full-size carts, standard units, drawers and bar boxes.
- Weight and certification — assess weight optimisation, latch security under flight loads, and aviation fire-standard compliance.
- Fleet standardisation — favour suppliers that let you standardise a single cart family across narrow- and wide-body cabins.
