Powerful and Silent: Advantages of Columbia Electric Vehicles for Construction Projects

The Columbia Journeyman and Utilitruck both excel as utility vehicles on large construction and development sites. With their 48V AC drive power systems, they have the range and power your crew needs to navigate job sites without contributing additional noise. Both the Journeyman and Utilitruck are available in street legal configurations, which lets teams expand their travels off site and between sites using public roads safely and legally. 

Columbia vehicles are an asset on the job site whether they’re owned or rented. When owned, vehicles used during construction can enjoy a second life as maintenance, landscaping, transport, and security vehicles to support ongoing operations. And if the project is better suited for rental vehicles, units are available from many of our partners in our nationwide dealer network. 

During the development phase, the Journeyman and Utilitruck take on a number of roles on the job site: 

Material & Fixture Transport

Journeyman and Utilitruck models can be equipped with cargo beds or van bodies to efficiently transport materials and fixtures directly to where they are needed next. With their narrow track widths, these vehicles can get to places big work trucks simply cannot access.

 

Personnel Transport 

With Journeyman’s available 6-passenger and Utilitruck’s available 4-passenger options, these vehicles can also be used to transport crew members, maintenance or repair service providers, and VIPs alike. They provide a quick and convenient way to move between different work areas or for shuttling workers to remote parts of the job site.

Tool and Equipment Hauling

Construction workers often need access to a wide range of tools and equipment, such as generators, compressors, power tools, ladders, and saw horses. With bed sizes up to 60” long, the Journeyman and Utilitruck make it easy to transport whatever the work calls for each day. Don’t forget your PPE, too!

Trash and Debris Removal

Keeping a construction site clean and organized is essential for safety and efficiency. Both Journeyman and Utilitruck can be configured with drop-sides for their cargo beds which can be used to easily collect and transport trash, debris, and construction waste to designated disposal areas.
