An airport’s ground support equipment includes the catering truck. Although somewhat unknown to the general public, it is nonetheless an important part of an air base’s GSE arsenal. Catering trucks have many uses, and every airport needs one. Catering vehicles must also be chosen according to certain criteria, to ensure that the right equipment is used. Discover our tips for choosing the right equipment.
A hotel truck is a forklift vehicle used in the aeronautics industry for refueling. The catering truck is used to supply the aircraft with catering equipment and foodstuffs, in particular. It is therefore a key piece of ground support equipment. What’s more, the catering truck can also be converted into a cleaning truck, to supply aircraft cleaning equipment.
It is therefore a key vehicle for equipping the aircraft with the equipment required inside, particularly with regard to catering and hygiene.
Our advice for choosing a hotel truck begins with its capacity. It must be adapted to your needs. These depend on the type of aircraft using your airport. Large aircraft with a large number of passengers require more equipment, and therefore larger hotel trucks.
Conversely, having a large hotel truck for smaller needs would be a waste of resources and unnecessary costs. So, when choosing a hotel truck, it’s important to estimate your needs in advance.
In addition to volume, it’s the load required that needs to be identified. The same volume of equipment can weigh different amounts. This depends on the type of equipment you use to refuel your aircraft. That’s why it’s important to have a hotel truck that can lift the load of equipment you’ll be placing inside.
Our advice on choosing a SOVAM hotel truck also extends to consideration of the options available. Options are additional features that optimize performance and user comfort. SOVAM is renowned for customizing these features to suit customer needs.
