Standard Lightweight Meal Cart

The DKA Aerospace Standard Lightweight Meal Cart is a workhorse galley trolley engineered for airlines that need consistent performance across high-frequency short- and medium-haul operations. Built from high-grade aluminium alloy, it combines a single-piece 10mm CNC-milled base panel for undercarriage rigidity with 3D top-corner construction that distributes impact loads during turbulence and ramp handling. A stainless-steel braking mechanism provides reliable aisle-locking, while dual runner configurations allow operators to match tray-slide geometry to their specific catering supplier's containers. The cart is offered in both ATLAS and KSSU footprints — the two dominant galley-insert standards fitted across Boeing and Airbus narrowbody and widebody fleets — as well as non-standard configurations for regional or rail applications. A push-to-close or manual door system, optional pull-out table on full-size units, and a flip-top option on half-size units give fleet operators configuration flexibility without custom tooling. At 20–21.8 kg for the full-size and 12–13.7 kg for the half-size, this cart occupies the standard weight class — heavier than the Eco-Lite+ but traded against a more robust structural profile suited to high-density routes where cart turnover is rapid and dent resistance is prioritised. It is certified under EASA POA, CAAS POA, FAA LoDA, and carries Boeing and Airbus supplier approvals, making it a low-risk procurement choice for carriers with stringent airworthiness traceability requirements. GCC carriers operating mixed Airbus/Boeing fleets on high-rotation routes (DXB, RUH, DOH) will find the dual-standard compatibility and 8-week lead time operationally convenient.
