In the hyper-competitive era of micro-fulfillment and 2-day delivery, ensuring safe operation and transport is more essential than ever. To keep the supply chain functioning, managers and executives need an easy solution to review work processes and complete safety audits. The best equipment to meet the needs of modern industry is an electric personnel carrier. Read on to learn how to select the perfect industrial personnel carrier for your facility.
Top Tier Electric Personnel Carriers
While many electric warehouse vehicles are available on the market today, Doosan and Hangcha offer strong options that cover most industries.
Doosan Electric Personnel Carriers
Doosan offers several different electric warehouse vehicles, but their 7 Series Electric Burden Carrier is among the most popular choices. This workhorse is built to handle two passengers and payloads up to 6,600 lbs.
It comes standard with power steering and a dual brake system. Together, these make driving the 7 Series effortless, even when fully loaded. Additionally, the full light package improves safety and allows the carrier to operate even in low-light conditions. To maximize hauling capacity, the 7 Series is equipped with a tow hook capable of pulling up to 8,800 lbs.
Hangcha Electric Personnel Carriers
For facilities looking for extended run times and less charging time, Hangcha’s X Series Lithium-ion Burden Carrier is hard to beat. This high-performing industrial personnel carrier features Hangcha’s world-class CATL lithium iron phosphate battery, capable of hauling up to 6,000 lbs.
Moreover, the Li-ion battery and a brushless AC motor make this a low-maintenance model. The spacious operator compartment includes a digital dashboard that provides the driver with battery charge, speedometer, and fault detection. Finally, the chassis, driving axle, steering axle, suspension, and braking system are all built with frequent heavy loads in mind.
Choose the Best Personnel Carrier for You
However, no single industrial personnel carrier meets every facility’s requirements. When choosing an electric personnel carrier, carefully answer these questions to best identify your needs. If you think your transportation requirements might change in the future, consider leasing your carrier. We offer leasing options on Doosan and Hangcha electric warehouse vehicles.
How Big Is Your Facility?
Depending on the size of your working area, some electric warehouse vehicles may offer a greater range than others. Most carriers can reach up to 40 miles of range from a full charge. However, variables such as load size, speed, and other factors can affect this range. If you need to drive further on a single charge, consider upgrading to a lithium-ion battery solution to extend the life between charging cycles.
How Many Passengers Do You Need To Carry?
Both Doosan and Hangcha offer multiple models to meet varied needs. Whether you need a carrier for executive transport, a single-passenger vehicle for manager inspections, or something that can transport both personnel and equipment, Doosan and Hangcha have models that will fit your requirements. With capacities up to 6,000+ lbs., they have the power to move whomever you need.
