Aviation Lavatory Trucks

These trucks are equipped with waste‑tank and rinse/clean‑water tank systems to service aircraft lavatories — removing waste from the aircraft and supplying clean rinse/flush water.

Tank capacities vary widely: for example, one model offers a waste tank of 2,000 L and a water tank of 1,000 L.

Many units include a lifting platform or personnel access platform so the operator can reach aircraft lav‑port doors, which can be several metres above ground.

Construction and specifications are designed to comply with relevant aviation ground‑service standards (e.g., IATA standards) and use corrosion‑resistant materials like stainless steel for tanks.

There are self‑propelled versions (on dedicated chassis) and towable/cart versions, with options for diesel, electric or hybrid drives depending on airport environment.

Safe operation on the ramp is critical: positioning, hose‑coupling, dealing with waste safely and avoiding contamination or collisions are major operational concerns.
