Abstract
An equipping system is provided for equipping an aircraft galley. The equipping system includes a box, which is accommodatable in the aircraft galley to be equipped, as well as a transport cart for equipping the aircraft galley. The system includes a base element, which has a bottom surface and a loading surface opposite of the bottom surface, a plurality of wheels fastened to the bottom surface of the base element, a handle attached to the base element, and a securing mechanism adapted to prevent the box from sliding off the transport cart while it is being transported on the transport cart. The handle is shaped and attached in such a position to the base element that the base element of the transport cart, in the unloaded state of the transport cart, is stackable onto a base element of a further transport cart.
