The lift superstructure is installed on chassis manufactured by Mercedes-Benz and IVECO. Preferably chassis with a permissible total weight of 15 tons are used.

Special customer requests, such as refrigeration systems or rear lifts are taken into account individually.

The front platforms of our hi-lift catering vehicles are configured appropriately for different applications with passage widths from 760 mm to 2,400 mm.

The box body is executed in a “sandwich design”. Optionally refrigeration boxes with a cooling system are also offered.

Experience is reflected in the details

FFG only uses high-quality components from well-known suppliers that meet the requirements for a hi-lift catering vehicle.

Safe use under all conditions

FFG catering vehicles satisfy the European Directives for machines and ground support equipment; compliance with the directives is certified by an independent testing authority.

Hydraulic ground support provides our vehicles with the necessary stability to withstand wind speeds of 50 to 60 knots, depending on the vehicle type.
