Stackable and Nestable Flex-e-Drawers

Our Flex-e-Drawer is a newly designed product in our range. This product fills a gap in the market as recently identified by a number of major airlines. Standard Atlas drawers are currently replaced into meal carts after use as there is nowhere else on board to stack them. Our aim was to make a stackable and nestable drawer that frees up trolley space on board when the sandwich or drink service has finished.

Six Flex-e-Drawers fit a standard Atlas cart and can be stacked at the bottom of the cart when the food has been distributed. A Flex-e-Bag can then be used to collect waste in the same cart or the cart can be used for additional inflight sales.

The Flex-e-Drawer has air venting holes to assist with chilling food and drink ensuring all of the drawers will be chilled instead of just the top drawers when using the standard Atlas drawers.

Flex-e-Drawers are nestable to facilitate easy filling of the carts in the flight kitchens.

Flex-e-Drawers require considerably less warehousing space as they can be stacked when not in use.

These Flex-e-Drawers are robust and versatile
