Frequently Asked Questions

Inflight trolley castors are lightweight twin-wheel castors designed for service trolleys used on aircraft. In the TENTE range, the Aviana and Aviana light solutions combine a low overall height with smooth running, secure wheel locking and good manoeuvrability. They help trolleys move reliably through galleys and narrow aisles while supporting the weight, stability and design needs of onboard catering equipment.

nflight trolley castors support manoeuvrability through a twin-wheel design that creates a differential effect when turning. This helps the trolley steer more easily in confined aircraft galleys and narrow aisles. The Aviana housing also uses a double ball bearing swivel head, which supports smooth directional changes. This combination can reduce effort for cabin crew while keeping the trolley stable and controlled.

When selecting inflight trolley castors, consider trolley weight, payload, overall height, wheel diameter, tread material, noise behaviour, floor protection and locking requirements. The fitting also needs to match the trolley design, especially where central wheel locking is required. For aircraft service, low weight, easy steering, hygiene, impact resistance and resistance to cleaning agents can all influence the most suitable configuration.

Our inflight trolley castors Aviana and Aviana light include a plate fitting with central wheel lock. This fitting provides a secure connection using four screws and allows connection to a central locking mechanism via an actuation lever.

Inflight trolley castors are important because they directly affect how easily airline service trolleys can be moved, positioned and secured during service. Low weight can help reduce trolley mass, while smooth rolling and quiet operation support a better cabin environment. A reliable wheel lock also helps keep the trolley stable during turbulence, climbing or descending, supporting safer and more efficient onboard service.

Inflight trolley castors are available with braking or locking functions, depending on the selected product configuration. The TENTE Aviana range includes a central wheel lock, allowing more than one castor to be locked via a central actuation lever.

The TENTE Aviana product family for inflight trolley castors is specified with a load capacity of 100 kg per castor. The required capacity should still be checked against the trolley’s own weight, the maximum service load and the number of castors fitted. For safe selection, it is sensible to include reserves for uneven thresholds, dynamic movement and situations where the load is not shared equally across all castors.

The TENTE Aviana range of inflight trolley castors is available with a 75 mm wheel diameter. This diameter is used with both Supratech and Maxtech wheel versions in the Aviana and Aviana light product family. The overall installed height depends on the housing and fitting combination, with Aviana light at 102 mm and Aviana at 103 mm when used with the central wheel lock plate fitting, so trolley clearance should be checked.

Inflight trolley castors differ from standard transport trolley castors because they are optimised for aircraft service conditions. They place stronger emphasis on low weight, quiet rolling, compact overall height, easy steering in narrow aisles and secure locking during flight movement. Standard transport trolley castors may be suitable for wider logistics settings, but they are not necessarily designed around aircraft cabin handling, hygiene and weight-saving priorities.

Common materials in inflight trolley castors include high grade synthetic materials for the housing, with metal components made from aluminium or rust-free stainless steel depending on the version. Wheel options include a thermoplastic rubber tread with a polypropylene wheel body, or a polyurethane tread with a polyamide wheel body. These materials support low weight, smooth running, chemical resistance and non-marking performance.

Inflight trolley castors are designed for demanding onboard service conditions, including frequent movement, tight turning, cleaning routines and secure standing during flight. Aviana light was developed with aircraft use in mind, including service kitchens, narrow aisles, turbulence, climbing and descending. The castors are designed for -10 °C to +40 °C and include materials resistant to many cleaning agents and chemical substances.
