Mallaghan has celebrated a milestone as it delivered its next-generation catering truck to long-standing partner, Erasmus Catering.

Its new CT6000, built on the most recent model Volvo FL chassis, introduces a multitude of innovative safety technologies to Erasmus’ operations, reflecting the company’s commitment to excellence. This Mallaghan CT6000 can service all wide-body aircraft, using a full-width platform, including safety shoe, safety gate and distance sensors.

Now being used at Rotterdam The Hague Airport, this new Mallaghan model marks the introduction of the Euro 6E engine and GSR 2 (General Safety Regulation) safety package to the Erasmus fleet, representing a significant step forward in both environmental performance and safety innovation.

Marcel Bernhardt, Regional Sales Manager commented: “As a trusted Mallaghan partner for more than ten years, our relationship with Erasmus Catering is built on shared values of quality, reliability and a deep understanding of the aviation industry. Its newest order, the CT600 with a Volvo FL chassis, reflects the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and design, and we are pleased to support Erasmus with the introduction of this new generation of catering truck into its fleet."

Erasmus Catering, a key service provider to the aviation industry, has been a trusted customer of Mallaghan for more than a decade, operating a fleet that includes both of Mallaghan’s full- and half-cab configurations. With aviation catering services at the heart of its operations since 1940, Erasmus supports airline partners with timely and efficient in-flight service delivery, relying on Mallaghan’s high-performance equipment to ensure smooth turnaround times and safe ramp operations.

Erik van Welzen from Erasmus Catering said: "Our operations demand equipment that can deliver performance, compliance and safety at the highest level. Our collaboration with Mallaghan continues to deliver on those needs, and the CT6000 is a perfect example of this. Built on the new Volvo commercial chassis, it sets a new benchmark for safety and performance in our fleet. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Mallaghan as we modernize and expand our operations."
