Description

Personnel & Burden Carriers for Safe, Efficient People & Material Movement

Personnel and burden carriers are purpose‑built to move people, tools, and materials quickly and safely across large facilities. These electric utility vehicles reduce walking time, speed up response, and keep maintenance, operations, and supervision teams productive in warehouses, plants, airports, campuses, and industrial environments.


Industrial personnel and burden carriers are designed for 2–6 passenger transport, 500–3,000 lb cargo capacity, and quiet electric operation in indoor and outdoor settings. With automotive‑style steering, low‑step entry, and configurable decks or cargo boxes, they replace manual carts and long walks with safe, repeatable fleet movement. This category 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.” Crosslinks naturally connect to Service & Repairs, Battery & Charger Packages, CSA Safety Accessories, and Industrial Utility Vehicle Rentals.
