HS v2022 Code: 842860

About teleferics, chair-lifts, ski-draglines, traction mechanisms for funiculars

HS code 842860 covers a range of transportation equipment used in mountainous and ski resort areas, including teleferics (cable cars), chair-lifts, ski-draglines, and traction mechanisms for funiculars. These specialized systems play a crucial role in the tourism and recreation industries, providing efficient and safe transportation for skiers, hikers, and sightseers in challenging terrain. As a key component of the broader 493000 Transportation and storage sector, this industry supports economic activity and development in many mountainous regions around the world.

Production process

The production of equipment under HS code 842860 typically involves the fabrication of metal frames, carriages, and other structural components, as well as the installation of specialized drive mechanisms, control systems, and safety features. Manufacturers may utilize techniques such as welding, machining, and assembly to construct the various subsystems that make up a complete teleferics or chair-lift system. Rigorous testing and quality control measures are essential to ensure the reliability and safety of these transportation solutions.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 842860 equipment include steel and other metals for the structural components, electric motors and gearboxes for the drive systems, and advanced control and safety electronics. Manufacturers may also rely on specialized machinery, such as metalworking tools and assembly equipment, to fabricate and assemble the various parts. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of engineering, designing, and installing these complex transportation systems.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 842860 industry are the teleferics, chair-lifts, ski-draglines, and traction mechanisms for funiculars themselves. These specialized transportation systems are primarily consumed by the 493000 Transportation and storage and 551000 Accommodation sectors, as they are essential for the operation of ski resorts, mountain tourism, and other recreational activities in mountainous regions. The equipment produced under this code may also be exported to other countries with similar geographic and climatic conditions.
