EXPRESS Catering Vehicle for RJ Operations
Environmentally Friendly Electric Chassis
The Express Catering Vehicle for regional operators is designed around a proven electric chassis. The vehicle is ideal for all on-airport catering operations. The vehicle is also available in a gas powered model.
Fixed Height Deck
This unit is designed to meet a specific aircraft sill height or short range of sill heights. The floor of the cargo container is set at the approximate height of the aircraft, allowing the carts to roll directly onto the aircraft. This eliminates the expense and maintenance associated with lifting the entire cargo container. If a greater range of sill heights must be served, the Express Catering Vehicle with scissor lift would be appropriate.
