A burden carrier is a powered industrial vehicle that carries a burden — a load, an operator, or both — across a facility floor. It fills the gap between walking and a forklift: too small a job for a lift truck, too heavy or too far for a hand truck.
You will also see these sold as stockchasers, warehouse tugs, personnel carriers, or industrial electric carts. Manufacturers use the names inconsistently, so the distinctions that matter when specifying one:
| Type | Primary job | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Burden carrier | Carries load and/or operator on its own deck | Maintenance rounds, parts runs, pick support |
| Stockchaser | Burden carrier set up for order picking | Pick support, stock replenishment |
| Electric tug / tugger | Tows carts behind it, carries nothing itself | Cart trains, line-side delivery |
| Personnel carrier | Moves people, minimal payload | Large campuses, long walking routes |
| Forklift | Lifts and stacks palletized loads | Racking, trailer loading |
Specifications
TexTrack Modular Mobility System — SKU TT-MMS-001
| Load capacity | 350 lbs |
| Deck size | 35" × 35" and 25" × 25" standard; custom sizes available |
| Turning radius | Zero-degree (patent-pending) |
| Motor | 250 W on the 25" × 25" deck; 500 W on the 35" × 35" deck |
| System voltage | 36V |
| Top speed | 15 mph — adjustable speed limiter, three speed modes |
| Gradeability | 10° slope |
| Runtime | Typical warehouse duty: ~10 hr per pack on the 250 W unit, ~5 hr per pack on the 500 W unit — roughly double running both packs in rotation |
| Battery | Two 36V UL Rated Cell Battery packs included — 1,008 Wh each, tool-free swap, cells made in USA |
| Frame | Anti-corrosion aluminum; custom color and coating options |
| Bumper | Full 360° perimeter protection |
| Display | IP65 LCD — distance, battery status, speed |
| Deck configuration | Modular — interchangeable utility decks and platforms |
On top speed: 15 mph is the vehicle ceiling, not a recommended indoor operating speed. The limiter and three-mode speed control let you set the unit to your own facility speed policy at commissioning. Most sites run aisle work in low or medium mode.
Why TexTrack?
Built compact first. US cells. Modular from the ground up.
Zero-Degree Turning
Rotates in place instead of swinging through an arc. Works in aisles where conventional steered-axle vehicles simply cannot turn.
Modular Deck System
Two standard deck sizes — 25" × 25" on a 250 W drive, 35" × 35" on a 500 W drive — or custom-engineered to your load. One base platform, one parts inventory, one training profile across mixed duties.
Two Swappable Batteries
Every unit ships with two 36V UL Rated Cell Battery packs — roughly 10 hours per pack on the 250 W unit and 5 on the 500 W unit under typical duty. Swap a depleted pack for the charged one and keep running across shifts instead of waiting on a charger.
Anti-Corrosion Frame
Aluminum throughout — built for wash-down areas, cold storage, coastal humidity, and chemical exposure that degrades painted steel.
Is This the Right Vehicle for Your Floor?
| Your situation | Right tool |
|---|---|
| Tight aisles, no room to turn | TexTrack |
| Loads under 350 lbs on a compact deck | TexTrack |
| Wash-down, cold storage, coastal humidity | TexTrack |
| Odd load geometry needing a custom deck | TexTrack custom deck |
| Loads over 350 lbs | A heavier-rated burden carrier |
| Towing loaded cart trains | An electric tugger |
| Carrying 2–4 passengers | A multi-passenger personnel carrier |
| Lifting pallets into racking | A forklift |
How to Specify a Burden Carrier
- Measure your narrowest working aisle at the tightest point, not the average. This eliminates most of the market fastest.
- Define the actual payload — weight and dimensions. A high weight rating on a deck too small for your load is useless.
- Count the shift hours. Two swappable packs ship with every unit, which covers most single- and double-shift operations; past that, add packs rather than a second vehicle.
- Check the floor — ramps, grades, dock plates, floor joints. Confirm your steepest grade against the rating.
- Confirm serviceability. Ask what a wheel, motor, or battery swap costs and how long it takes. Downtime usually outweighs purchase price.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a burden carrier?
A powered industrial vehicle that carries a load, an operator, or both across a facility floor. It fills the gap between walking and a forklift.
How much weight can the TexTrack burden carrier carry?
350 lbs, on a 35" × 35" or 25" × 25" deck. Custom deck sizes are available, but 350 lbs is the rated capacity. For heavier loads you want a different class of vehicle — tell us your load and we will say so.
What is the difference between a burden carrier and a stockchaser?
A stockchaser is a burden carrier configured for order picking, usually with tote racks or shelving on the deck. All stockchasers are burden carriers; not all burden carriers are stockchasers.
What is the difference between a burden carrier and an electric tug?
A burden carrier carries the load on its own deck. An electric tug tows carts behind it and carries nothing itself. If your material is already on wheeled carts, a tug may suit you better.
How long does the battery last?
On typical warehouse duty, roughly 10 hours per pack on the 250 W 25" × 25" unit and roughly 5 hours per pack on the 500 W 35" × 35" unit. Two 36V UL-rated packs ship with every unit, so running the pair in rotation roughly doubles those figures — exchange a depleted pack for the charged one rather than taking the vehicle out of service.
Do operators need training or certification?
Training and certification requirements depend on how a vehicle is classified and on your jurisdiction — some powered industrial trucks fall under OSHA operator training requirements and others do not. Confirm the classification of any specific vehicle with the manufacturer and with your own EHS team before deployment. We are happy to provide documentation to support that review.
Can it operate in narrow aisles?
That depends entirely on the vehicle. Most burden carriers are scaled-down utility vehicles needing an open corridor to turn. The zero-degree turning design was built specifically for facilities where that corridor does not exist.
What industries use burden carriers?
Manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, food and beverage, automotive assembly, aerospace, and facility maintenance operations.
