"Burden carrier" and "utility vehicle" are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably.
At Waev Inc., Gerry Hoadley, director of ground support equipment, says they call them “industrial trucks” because they offer the towing and hauling capabilities of pick-up trucks in a durable and practical form factor. Waev offers burden carriers through its Bigfoot product line.
“Bigfoot burden carriers distinguish themselves by being right-sized, cost-effective, fully electric and can easily replace traditional UTVs [utility terrain vehicles], golf carts, tractors and trucks,” Hoadley says.
