Pumps; concrete pumps

HS v2017 Code: 841340

About pumps; concrete pumps

hs code 841340 covers the classification of concrete pumps, a critical piece of equipment used in the construction industry. Concrete pumps play a vital role in the efficient and effective delivery of concrete to construction sites, enabling the rapid and precise placement of this essential building material. As a key component of modern construction practices, the concrete pump industry is closely tied to the broader economic trends and growth in the construction sector.

Production process

Concrete pumps are typically manufactured using a combination of specialized machinery and skilled labor. The production process often involves the fabrication of the pump's main components, such as the hopper, delivery boom, and hydraulic system, followed by the assembly and testing of the complete unit. Advancements in pump design and materials have led to the development of more efficient, durable, and versatile concrete pumps that can handle a wide range of concrete mixes and jobsite conditions.

Production inputs

The concrete pump industry relies on a variety of raw materials and components, including steel, hydraulic systems, electrical and electronic parts, and specialized accessories. Manufacturers also require access to advanced manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines, CNC machining centers, and assembly lines, to ensure the production of high-quality, reliable concrete pumps. Additionally, the industry depends on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and operators, to design, build, and maintain these critical construction tools.

Production outputs

The primary output of the concrete pump industry is, of course, the concrete pumps themselves. These pumps are then consumed by the construction industry, where they are used to transport and place concrete for a wide range of projects, from residential buildings to large-scale infrastructure developments. Other related hs codes that may consume the output of the concrete pump industry include 842920 Machinery; for mixing, kneading, crushing, grinding, screening, sifting, homogenizing, emulsifying or stirring and 842940 Machinery; for working mineral substances, for agglomerating, shaping or molding solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, unhardened cements, plastering materials or other mineral products in powder or paste form; machines for forming foundry moulds of sand.
