CPC v2.1 Code: 4354

About lifts, skip hoists, escalators and moving walkways

cpc code 4354 covers the manufacturing of lifts, skip hoists, escalators, and moving walkways. These products play a crucial role in modern infrastructure, enabling efficient vertical and horizontal transportation in a wide range of settings, from commercial and residential buildings to public transportation hubs. As a key component of the broader 4300 Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing industry, this sector contributes significantly to the overall productivity and functionality of the built environment.

Production process

The production of lifts, skip hoists, escalators, and moving walkways involves a combination of engineering, metalworking, and precision assembly techniques. Manufacturers typically begin by fabricating the structural components, such as the frames and housings, using techniques like welding, cutting, and forming. Specialized mechanical and electrical systems, including motors, control panels, and safety features, are then integrated into the assembly. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 4354 items include various metals (such as steel, aluminum, and copper) for the structural components, as well as electronic and mechanical components like motors, gears, and control systems. Manufacturers also rely on specialized tools and equipment, such as metalworking machinery, assembly lines, and testing facilities. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 4354 are the lifts, skip hoists, escalators, and moving walkways themselves, which are then consumed by a range of other industries and applications. These products are commonly used in 4200 Construction projects, 5200 Retail Trade, 5300 Transportation and Warehousing, and 5400 Information and Cultural Industries, among others. The outputs of this industry contribute to the efficient movement of people and goods, enhancing productivity and accessibility in various sectors of the economy.
