Lifts and skip hoists

HS v2022 Code: 842810

About lifts and skip hoists

HS code 842810 covers the classification of lifts and skip hoists, which are essential equipment used in various industries for vertical transportation of materials, goods, and personnel. These specialized machines play a crucial role in the efficient movement and handling of loads, contributing to the smooth operation of supply chains, construction sites, and industrial facilities across the globe.

Production process

Lifts and skip hoists are typically manufactured using a combination of metal fabrication, mechanical engineering, and electrical components. The production process often involves the assembly of a sturdy frame, the installation of a lifting mechanism (such as a hydraulic or electric motor), and the integration of control systems and safety features to ensure reliable and safe operation.

Production inputs

The production of lifts and skip hoists requires a range of inputs, including steel or other durable metals for the frame and structural components, electric motors or hydraulic systems for the lifting mechanism, and electronic control systems and sensors to manage the equipment's operation. Additionally, specialized parts and accessories, such as cables, pulleys, and braking systems, are essential for the proper functioning of these machines.

Production outputs

Lifts and skip hoists produced under HS code 842810 are primarily used in various industries, including construction, mining, manufacturing, and logistics. The output of this industry can be consumed by other industries that require vertical transportation solutions, such as 842820 Pneumatic elevators and conveyors and 842839 Other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery.
