Applications of Utility Carts

Posted in Golf Carts

Whether you are a homeowner, commercial property manager, or industrial worker, chances are you could benefit greatly from owning or using a utility cart. Utility carts are small, slow-moving motor vehicles that may be either gas or electric powered. They are task-oriented, light vehicles which are designed for both transport and storage, and may be used outdoors or indoors. Below are some of the uses of utility carts in commercial, residential, and industrial settings.

Residential

Utility carts are used for grounds maintenance on extensive landed properties. Gardeners or homeowners use them to carry garden supplies, or to haul rocks or mulch. Seniors and physically-challenged people may also use utility carts to carry groceries indoors from the car, or to get around their property with more ease.

Commercial

It is not uncommon to spy utility carts on the grounds of office complexes, hotels, airports, sports facilities, hospitals, and other commercial properties. Many apartment complexes keep a few of these vehicles handy for giving tours to prospective tenants, and hotels use them for hauling luggage or for grounds maintenance. Security personnel also use utility carts to patrol commercial properties, such as shopping malls and college campuses. Utility carts (golf carts) are also a standard feature on golf courses; golfers use them to carry their equipment and to move around the golf course with less effort. Another place utility carts crop up in is airports; they are perfect for hauling cargo, and for conveying passengers quickly through long terminals.

Industrial

Utility carts are used inside warehouses, large fulfillment centers, and manufacturing plants to tow inventory racks and heavy loads. Industrial utility carts are also used to transport equipment, personnel, and raw materials around large industrial facilities in a quick and efficient manner.
