DKA's XT3.0 cart
DKA Aerospace has unveiled the XT3.0, the latest evolution in its XT series of galley carts. The product officially launched at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2025 in Hamburg this month.
Building on the proven performance of the XT line, the XT3.0 sets a new industry benchmark as the lightest meal cart on the market," DKA Aerospace said in its press release. The Full-Size cart weighs 15.1 kg (33.3 lbs) while the Half-Size cart weighs 9.8 kg (21.6 lbs).
This ultra-lightweight design delivers meaningful fuel savings and enhanced handling while maintaining the supplier's commitment to durability, quality and reliability.
“The XT3.0 was designed with a single goal: push the boundaries of lightweight engineering while maintaining the trusted performance standards of our XT carts,” said King W. Lee, CEO, DKA Aerospace.
The XT3.0 meal cart dramatically reduces fuel consumption and simplifies crew operations. With a full-size unit weighing just 15.1 kg, the XT3.0 aims to help airlines achieve long-term cost savings and improved environmental performance.
It also features interchangeable components across the entire XT Series, enabling effortless maintenance and minimizing downtime. This modular approach streamlines inventory management and empowers airlines to optimize their fleet with greater flexibility and ease.
CNC-milled aluminum panels, UNI-STRUCTURE design, and robust bumper frames ensure maximum durability without compromising on weight. Every detail is precision-crafted for long-term resilience under high-frequency usage.
