ATLAS Aluminium Drawer

The ATLAS Aluminium Drawer is a galley insert designed to the ATLAS industry standard, used to organise and stow meals, service items, and loose equipment within aircraft trolleys, containers, and galley lockers. The ATLAS standard defines the footprint at approximately 375 mm long × 270 mm wide × 115 mm deep — dimensions that allow the drawer to slot into any ATLAS-format bay without modification, covering the majority of narrowbody and widebody galley configurations on Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Aluminium construction delivers two critical properties for an inflight insert: structural rigidity under the high-cycle loading of daily airline service, and low self-weight. Loaded drawers are handled repeatedly by galley crew during service preparation; the combination of low empty weight and high load tolerance — the ATLAS aluminium drawer format supports up to 20 kg of content — makes it suitable for everything from meal trays to heavy beverage bottles. Plastic rail liners on the slides dampen operational noise, relevant on aircraft where galley noise bleeds into the nearest premium-class rows. The drawer is dishwasher-safe, meaning it can be cleaned at the catering unit on a standard warewashing cycle without specialist handling. This reduces turnaround time and avoids the chemical compatibility concerns associated with some polymer alternatives. Driessen supplies these drawers as OEM-matched galley inserts, certified to airworthiness requirements and supplied with documentation appropriate for airline maintenance records. They function as replacement units for worn stock or as new-fit components in Hybrite S trolleys and containers.
