About jacks and hoists; (other than hydraulic), of a kind used for raising vehicles

HS code 842549 covers a range of mechanical jacks and hoists, excluding hydraulic types, that are primarily used for lifting and supporting vehicles. These devices play a crucial role in the automotive industry, enabling mechanics and service technicians to safely raise and work on cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles. As a key component of vehicle maintenance and repair, the products under this code contribute to the efficient operation and longevity of the global transportation infrastructure.

Production process

Jacks and hoists classified under HS code 842549 are typically manufactured using a combination of metal fabrication, machining, and assembly techniques. The production process often involves cutting, bending, and welding steel or aluminum components to create the main structural elements. Precision machining is then used to ensure the smooth and reliable operation of the lifting mechanisms, which may include gears, pulleys, and threaded rods. Finally, the components are assembled, tested, and finished to meet industry standards and safety requirements.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 842549 items include steel, aluminum, and other metal alloys for the structural components, as well as various mechanical parts such as bearings, springs, and fasteners. Manufacturers may also require specialized tools and equipment for metal fabrication, machining, and assembly. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating production machinery and assembling the final products to precise specifications.

Production outputs

The jacks and hoists classified under HS code 842549 are primarily used in the 851000 Motor vehicles industry, where they are essential for vehicle maintenance, repair, and servicing. These products may also find applications in 842542 Jacks; hydraulic, of a kind used for raising vehicles, 842549 (Jacks and hoists; (other than hydraulic), of a kind used for raising vehicles), and 842542 Jacks; hydraulic, of a kind used for raising vehicles industries, where they are used to lift and support various types of machinery and equipment.
