Customized airline furniture: these are the standards and sizes

At TRAP Trading, we know all about airline furniture. We offer new and used airline trolleys from big airlines and can even customize trolleys for collectors, businesses and private buyers alike. We mainly offer ATLAS and KSSU trolleys, as well as the occasional ACE trolley. But what exactly is the difference? Read on to find out exactly what sets these different types of trolleys apart.

ATLAS and KSSU trolleys: the main differences

The most common airline trolley on the market in terms of size is ATLAS. Approximately 80% of all airlines use this type of trolley. The name comes from Alitalia, TAP, Lufthansa, Air France and Sabena. KSSU trolleys also owe their name to the airlines that use them: KLM, Swissair, SAS Scandinavian Airlines and UTA. Whereas ATLAS and KSSU trolleys have rougly the same width and hight, there is a difference in terms of the depth of the trolleys. These are the standard sizes for full- and half-size trolleys:

• ATLAS full-size trolley: 31 x 81 x 103 cm
• KSSU full-size trolley: 30.5 x 85 x 103 cm
• ATLAS half-size trolley: 30 x 40 x 103 cm
• KSSU half-size trolley: 30.5 x 42.5 x 103 cm

When you buy an ATLAS trolley, any accessories like drawers or doors should also come from the same brand. A half-size KSSU trolley is about 2.5cm deeper than an ATLAS cart, and the full-size trolley has about 4 cm of extra depth compared to ATLAS. Due to these specific sizes, a KSSU drawer will not fit in an ATLAS cart. The same goes the other way around. Thanks to our expertise in aviation furniture, TRAP trading can help you make sure that you’re purchasing airline equipment and accessories with the correct measurements and sizes.

Used and new airline trolleys from TRAP trading

TRAP Trading mainly sells either ATLAS or KSSU trolleys, as these are the most popular carts in the aviation industry. Sometimes however we also offer ACE trolleys, which are mainly used by British Airways. These also have the same height and width as regular airline trolleys, but differ slightly in terms of depth. At TRAP trading, we offer both new and used airline trolleys in our webshop: some have seen many miles in the air and may have a bump or two, whereas others are brand new.
