A door assembly for a vehicle. The door assembly includes a door frame, a door panel, a rotating strut, and a linear door guide. The door opens and closes through a combination of rotating and sliding motion, which minimizes the required operational footprint. The strut is mounted on the door panel such that the strut is hidden from view when the door is in an open position.

A cargo unit for storage in a cargo hold of an aircraft including a housing and a storage rack arrangement, the housing enclosing the storage rack arrangement and including a transport opening. The cargo unit is connectable to a transport arrangement operable for removing objects from the storage rack arrangement and placing objects in the storage rack arrangement through the transport opening when the cargo unit is arranged in an operating position. The cargo unit includes a transport cover movable between a closed position where the transport cover closes the transport opening and an opened position where the transport opening is not covered by the transport cover. The transport cover is adapted to be only movable from its closed position to its opened position after engagement with a transport arrangement. A lower deck catering system including a cargo unit and a transport arrangement is described.

A service box for storing in a storage rack arrangement of a cargo container of a vehicle, in particular an aircraft, including a rectangular bottom wall, a rectangular upper wall, side walls and narrow end walls and forms an interior space adapted to receive a trolley for catering goods. The service box is provided with a door at at least one of its narrow ends, the door forming at least the main part of the narrow wall and in the open state permits insertion and removal of the trolley and in the closed state provides for an essentially closed space for the trolley.

A lift apparatus for transporting objects between compartments of an aircraft through an aperture in a floor structure separating the compartments and an aircraft in which such lift apparatus is mounted. The lift apparatus includes a conveyor with a retaining portion to selectively retain and release objects to be transported, a guide to which the conveyor is mounted to be linearly movable along a predetermined path of motion defined by the guide, and a moving mechanism for driving the conveyor to linearly move along the predetermined path of motion. The retaining portion and a closing portion of the conveyor are along the path of motion, and the lift apparatus mounts in an aircraft with the path of motion extending through the aperture. The conveyor is selectively movable along the predetermined path of motion between positions.
