HS v2017 Code: 842710

About fork-lift and other works trucks; fitted with lifting or handling equipment, self-propelled by electric motor

hs code 842710 covers a crucial segment of the material handling equipment industry, which plays a vital role in the broader logistics and supply chain ecosystem. These self-propelled, electrically-powered fork-lifts and other work trucks equipped with lifting or handling capabilities are indispensable tools for efficient goods movement, storage, and inventory management across a wide range of industries, from manufacturing and warehousing to retail and construction.

Production process

The production of hs code 842710 equipment involves several key steps. First, the frame and chassis are fabricated, often from high-strength steel alloys, to provide the necessary structural integrity and durability. The electric motor, control systems, and hydraulic mechanisms that power the lifting and maneuvering functions are then integrated into the chassis. Finally, the specialized attachments, such as forks, clamps, or platforms, are fitted to the lifting mechanism to enable the desired material handling capabilities.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 842710 equipment include steel and other metal alloys for the frame and structural components, electric motors and control systems, hydraulic components, and specialized attachments. Additionally, the manufacturing process relies on advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software, precision machining equipment, and skilled labor to ensure the quality and reliability of the final products.
