Pumps; concrete pumps

HS v2022 Code: 841340

About pumps; concrete pumps

HS code 841340 covers 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 an integral part of the broader construction and infrastructure development sectors, which are crucial drivers of economic growth and development worldwide.

Production process

Concrete pumps are typically manufactured using a combination of metal fabrication, hydraulic engineering, and electronic control systems. The production process involves the assembly of various components, including the pump mechanism, boom or placing system, and control systems. Manufacturers utilize advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, to ensure precision and consistency in the production of these specialized pumps.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of concrete pumps include steel and other metal alloys for the structural components, hydraulic systems and motors for the pumping mechanism, and electronic control systems for precise operation. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized tools, molds, and testing equipment to ensure the quality and performance of the final product. The availability of skilled labor, particularly in the areas of metal fabrication, hydraulic engineering, and electronic systems, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

Concrete pumps produced under HS code 841340 are primarily used in the construction industry, where they are essential for the efficient and effective placement of concrete in a wide range of projects, from high-rise buildings to infrastructure development. The output of this industry may also be consumed by 842920 Machinery; earth moving and excavating and 842940 Machinery; tamping or compacting machinery, as these related equipment are often used in conjunction with concrete pumps on construction sites.
