Aircraft interiors EXPO: New generation cart bridges gap from lightweight to composite
Posted by admin on April 1, 2008A new generation of galley cart by DKA, Diethelm Keller Aviation is getting a soft-launch at the show.
“The ‘Generation B (Gen B) Lightweight Cart’ is heavier than the composite cart but much cheaper, and it is significantly lighter than current lightweight carts in the market and costs only a fraction more,” says sales manager, Joshua Chang.
The Gen B has all the aluminum components, but weighs between 16-18 kg, depending on final configurations, making it 20% lighter than existing lightweight carts.
The Gen B cart features curvy edges and handles giving it an all round sexier looking cart. The company says it has changed the way the components are joined. “This includes the thermal performance which has been enhanced with additional insulated sandwich panels at the top and bottom, and thicker insulated panels at the sides. Plus the break noise has been reduced due to the bottom sandwich panel” Chang says.
