In a vertical conveyor arrangement for the transport of catering service
goods in an aircraft with at least two decks arranged one above another,
catering service goods are transported from a lower deck embodied as a
freight deck into an upper deck. A conveyor arrangement is embodied
according to the invention as a lift carriage, whereby the lift carriage
is made up of a top structure with guide elements that are operatively
connected with guide rails arranged above the freight deck, and a bottom
structure that protrudes into the freight compartment in transport
position, and that, for receiving a receptacle, comprises at least one
cantilever arm reaching over the top side of the receptacle, a column
element, side arms at least partially encompassing the sides of the
receptacle, as well as a floor plate. The bottom structure forms a
secured receiver for the receptacle.It is especially advantageous,
through avoidance of a fixed lift installation in the freight
compartment, not to hinder the throughgoing passability of the freight
compartment in the loading with containers. Moreover, a reliable and
continuous secure fixing of the transport receptacle is ensured during
the lift operation.
