• the floor and the first side walls slidably engaging within the roof and the second side walls,
• the roof and the second side walls forming a canopy over the floor, the first side walls and the first and the second catering trolley storage areas when housing the catering trolleys,
• the cargo container is mounted on a body of the truck via an interposing lift, allowing the cargo container to be raised and lowered,
• a gantry having a loading platform and adapted to engage with a cargo door of an aircraft, the gantry slidably mounted on at least one of the end walls, and
• the gantry is vertically moveable with respect to the at least one end wall such that the loading platform is capable of forming a continuous, substantially level surface together with either the horizontal floor or the horizontal floating deck.
