About jacks; built-in jacking systems of a type used in garages, for raising vehicles

hs code 842541 covers a critical piece of equipment used in the automotive industry - jacks and built-in jacking systems. These devices play a vital role in vehicle maintenance and repair, enabling mechanics and technicians to safely lift and support vehicles during servicing. As a key component of the broader 84 Machinery, mechanical appliances, nuclear reactors, boilers; parts thereof industry, the production and trade of these jacks contribute significantly to the global economy.

Production process

Jacks and built-in jacking systems covered under hs code 842541 are typically manufactured using a combination of metalworking techniques. This may include cutting, forming, and welding of steel or other durable materials to create the jack's frame and lifting mechanism. Precision engineering is often required to ensure the jack's stability, lifting capacity, and smooth operation. Automated processes and computer-controlled machinery may be employed to improve efficiency and consistency in production.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of jacks and built-in jacking systems include steel, aluminum, or other metal alloys for the structural components, as well as hydraulic or mechanical systems for the lifting mechanism. Specialized tools, dies, and molds may also be required, along with a range of fasteners, seals, and other hardware. Manufacturers in this industry may also rely on advanced sensors, control systems, and testing equipment to ensure the quality and safety of their products.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 842541 is jacks and built-in jacking systems for use in garages and other automotive service facilities. These products are often consumed by 87 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof manufacturers, as well as independent repair shops and service centers. Additionally, the output of this industry may be used in other applications, such as 842 Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery equipment for construction, warehousing, or industrial settings.
