Our Personnel Carriers Can Transport Your Staff

Walking from one end of a warehouse or large facility to another can take valuable time that could be spent on more productive tasks. That’s where industrial personnel carriers can help. Bailey offers these vehicles for our customers throughout Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and Georgia. They’re designed to move employees and materials quickly and safely across large spaces. This guide will outline what personnel carriers are, their types, and how they can benefit your business.

Get Started

Overview

What Are Personnel Carriers?

Personnel carriers are small, motorized vehicles that transport people and light loads within a large workplace. You might have seen a stock chaser cart in a home improvement store or an electric personnel cart at an airport. These vehicles are built to handle the demands of a busy environment, making it easy to get around quickly without getting tired. They’re essential for maintaining a smooth and efficient workflow in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers.

Types of Personnel Carriers

Personnel carriers come in various shapes and sizes to fit different needs. Some are designed just for moving people, while others can carry passengers and cargo. Here are a few common types:

Burden Carriers

These are the workhorses of the personnel carrier world. An electric burden carrier typically has a flatbed in the back for moving tools, boxes, or other materials. They’re perfect for maintenance crews or supervisors who need to transport equipment along with themselves.
Personnel Transporters

These vehicles almost exclusively move people. They often have multiple rows of seats and are ideal for giving tours of a facility or taking teams of workers from one area to another.
Stock Chasers

You’ll often see a stock chaser cart in retail warehouses or large stores. These vehicles are narrow and agile, allowing them to navigate tight aisles easily. They usually have a small platform for a worker and a ladder or steps to reach high shelves, making it simple to pick orders.
Tow Tractors

While their main job is to pull heavy carts or trailers, many tow tractors also have a spot for an extra passenger. They’re great for moving large quantities of goods across a facility.

Personnel Carriers’ Role in Warehouse Efficiency

Efficiency is all about doing more in less time, and that’s how personnel carriers can help you. In a large warehouse, an employee might spend a significant part of their day just walking. This time on foot adds up, leading to lost productivity.

By using warehouse utility vehicles, you can dramatically reduce travel time. This means a more productive team with faster movement, which leads to quicker order fulfillment and happier customers. Personnel Carriers_3

Benefits of Personnel Carriers

Utilizing industrial personnel carriers in your workplace offers several key advantages that contribute to a better bottom line and a happier workforce.

01

Improved Worker Mobility

The most obvious benefit is increased mobility. With an electric personnel cart, employees can cover long distances in minutes. This is especially useful in facilities that span thousands of square feet. Instead of being limited by how far they can comfortably walk, workers can access any part of the building quickly. This improved mobility helps streamline operations and ensures that your team can respond to issues or new tasks without delay.
02

Reduced Fatigue

Walking all day is tiring. When employees are fatigued, their productivity drops, and they’re more likely to make mistakes. Personnel carriers help reduce physical strain by providing a comfortable way to get around. When workers have more energy, they can better focus on their core tasks. This leads to higher-quality work and better morale.
03

Safety

Safety is a top priority in any industrial setting. Walking through a busy warehouse with forklifts and other heavy machinery can be dangerous. Personnel carriers offer a safer way to travel. They provide drivers with better visibility and are often equipped with safety features like lights, horns, and brakes. Reducing the number of people walking through high-traffic areas creates a safer environment for everyone.
