A large operation, such as a manufacturing plan, often requires a wide range of material handling equipment. One piece of equipment that is perfect for very large and spread-out facilities, is a burden carrier. These vehicles are used to carry or tow products throughout a workspace and are able to fit where most other industrial vehicles wouldn’t be able to. The Payloader from Columbia is a powerful and efficient burden carrier that could be a great benefit to your business due to its many functions.
- Carrying Cargo
The payloader features a large flatbed section that is perfect for transporting cargo throughout your facilities. The carrying capacity for the payloader is 2,400 lbs. and can be upgraded to support up to 4,000 lbs. That is plenty of capacity for quickly hauling large parts or products through spaces that may be inconvenient to use a forklift in.
- Towing
Along with being able to carry large loads in the flatbed, the payloader is also able to tow large amounts of weight throughout a facility. The standard version allows for a towing capacity of up to 6,500 lbs. and the super duty version allows for an incredible 18,000 lbs. of towing capacity. This feature can be a quick and easy way to move a massive amount of product across the campus of a large business.
- Personnel transport
Payloaders can be fitted with seating and awnings to become powerful passenger carriers. The large weight capacity it offers means that it can transport a large number of passengers without adverse effects on the vehicle. The strong construction of the payloader will keep your staff and guests comfortable and safe throughout their ride.
With the ability to carry cargo, tow cargo, and transport passengers, the Payloader from Columbia is a versatile vehicle that can help your operation function as smoothly as possible. The power of a Payloader is all electric so you don’t have to worry about any harmful emissions and can save on fuel costs. You can view the payloader and all of our other Columbia vehicles here.
