Aircraft Lavatory Carts & Trucks: The Unsung Heroes of Aviation Hygiene -


When it comes to servicing aircraft, one of the most critical but often overlooked pieces of ground support equipment is the aircraft lavatory cart or lavatory truck. These specialized units ensure that an aircraft's lavatory system is properly emptied, cleaned, and replenished before its next flight. Omega Aviation is a trusted supplier of high-quality new and refurbished aircraft lavatory carts and lavatory trucks, offering a range of units to meet the needs of different aircraft types and operational requirements.


What Are Aircraft Lavatory Carts and Trucks?

Aircraft lavatory carts and trucks are used to remove waste from an aircraft’s onboard lavatory system and refill it with fresh blue juice solution. These units are a vital part of airport ground operations, ensuring that passenger aircraft are hygienic and ready for service. Smaller corporate aircraft typically use lavatory carts due to their lower waste and refill tank requirements, while larger commercial and wide-body aircraft require lavatory trucks, some of which feature hydraulic lifts to access elevated service panels.


The Importance of Aircraft Lavatory Carts and Trucks

Without an efficient aircraft lavatory servicing system, aircraft turnaround times would be significantly delayed, leading to flight disruptions. Proper waste disposal is also essential for maintaining sanitary conditions onboard and preventing contamination. Given the time-sensitive nature of aviation operations, lavatory service must be performed quickly and efficiently. This is why Omega Aviation provides fully refurbished lavatory service equipment that is reliable and ready to go to work on day one.


Types of Lavatory Service Equipment Available

Omega Aviation offers a variety of lavatory carts and lavatory trucks designed to service aircraft of all sizes. Some of the units we carry include:

  • LC1616 Lavatory Cart – A compact, portable solution ideal for general aviation and corporate jets. These carts typically feature a 12-volt electric pump, a rechargeable battery, a charger, and a solar panel battery maintainer to keep the system running efficiently.
  • Stinar SLS-450 Lavatory Truck – A larger, truck-mounted unit designed for commercial aircraft, featuring higher GPM flow rates to quickly refill lavatory reservoirs and a hydraulic lift to reach elevated service panels.


Key Features of Aircraft Lavatory Carts & Trucks

Omega Aviation’s lavatory servicing units come with several essential features, including:

Pumping Systems

  • Smaller lavatory carts are generally equipped with 12-volt electric pumps, making them easy to operate and maintain.
  • Larger lavatory trucks may feature gasoline-driven pumps or hydraulic-driven pumps, offering higher flow rates to efficiently service wide-body aircraft.

Time Efficiency

  • Speed is crucial in aviation. High GPM flow rates ensure that lavatory servicing is completed quickly, minimizing turnaround times and keeping flights on schedule.

Cold Weather Protection

  • Some lavatory carts and trucks come with insulated tanks and heating elements to prevent fluids from freezing, ensuring year-round operability.

Customizable Tank Capacities

  • Depending on the aircraft size, different tank capacities are available to handle varying waste and refill requirements efficiently.
