HS v2017 Code: 842691

About cranes and derricks; designed for mounting on road vehicles

hs code 842691 covers cranes and derricks designed for mounting on road vehicles. These specialized equipment play a crucial role in the construction, infrastructure, and logistics industries, enabling the efficient movement and placement of heavy loads at job sites. As a key component of material handling systems, cranes and derricks under this code contribute significantly to the overall productivity and progress of various economic sectors.

Production process

Cranes and derricks classified under hs code 842691 are typically manufactured through a combination of fabrication, assembly, and testing processes. The main production steps involve cutting, welding, and shaping of metal components, such as booms, jibs, and chassis, to create the core structure. Specialized hydraulic and electrical systems are then integrated to provide the necessary power and control mechanisms. Finally, the assembled units undergo rigorous testing to ensure their safety, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.

Production inputs

The production of cranes and derricks under hs code 842691 requires a range of inputs, including steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys for the structural components, as well as hydraulic systems, electronic controls, and specialized fasteners and fittings. Additionally, the manufacturing process relies on advanced machinery, such as CNC machines, welding equipment, and testing facilities, along with a skilled workforce capable of operating these tools and adhering to strict quality control measures.

Production outputs

Cranes and derricks classified under hs code 842691 are primarily used in the construction, infrastructure, and logistics industries, where they are essential for the movement and placement of heavy loads, such as building materials, equipment, and containers. The output of this industry is often consumed by 842611 Derricks, cranes and other lifting machinery, 842641 Derricks; not self-propelled, and 842649 Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, not elsewhere specified or included.
