Personnel and burden carriers are industrial‑duty electric utility vehicles engineered to move people, tools, and materials quickly and safely across large facilities. With 2–6 passenger seating, 500–3,000 lb cargo capacity, and quiet electric drivetrains, they eliminate wasted walking time and keep maintenance, operations, and supervision teams productive in warehouses, plants, airports, campuses, hospitals, and industrial campuses. Automotive‑style steering, low‑step entry, and configurable flat decks, cargo boxes, or ladder racks make these carriers ideal for maintenance routes, parts delivery, security patrols, and people moving in high‑traffic environments. This category naturally captures long‑tail search intent such as “industrial personnel carrier,” “electric burden carrier for warehouse,” “people mover for manufacturing plant,” and “maintenance utility transport vehicle.” Inventory can be supplied CSA‑ready with safety accessories, decals, and logbooks, and ties directly into Premier Lift’s mobile service, battery and charger packages, and CSA safety accessory programs.
