Vehicles; concrete-mixer lorries

hs code 870540 covers the classification of concrete-mixer lorries, a crucial component of the construction and infrastructure industries. These specialized vehicles play a vital role in the efficient delivery and mixing of concrete on job sites, enabling the smooth progress of various building and infrastructure projects. As a key part of the broader automotive industry, the production and trade of concrete-mixer lorries have significant economic implications, contributing to the growth and development of both domestic and international markets.

Concrete-mixer lorries are typically manufactured using a combination of advanced production techniques. The chassis and body are often constructed using steel or aluminum, providing the necessary strength and durability to handle the heavy loads and demanding operating conditions. The mixing drum, which is the core component of the vehicle, is engineered to efficiently blend and transport the concrete mixture. This is achieved through the use of specialized gearing systems and powerful hydraulic or electric motors that power the drum's rotation.

The production of concrete-mixer lorries requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and various automotive components. Additionally, these vehicles rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as welding machines, painting facilities, and assembly lines. The development and integration of specialized mixing systems, including pumps, valves, and control mechanisms, are also crucial inputs for the industry.
