Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment

NACE v2.1 Code: C28.22

About manufacture of lifting and handling equipment

NACE code 28.22 covers the manufacture of a wide range of lifting and handling equipment, which is essential for various industries and sectors. This industry plays a crucial role in enabling the efficient movement and transportation of goods, materials, and machinery across diverse applications. The products manufactured under this code are vital for supporting the logistics, construction, mining, and manufacturing industries, among others, making it an integral part of the broader economy.

Production process

The manufacture of lifting and handling equipment typically involves several key production techniques. This includes the fabrication of metal components, such as frames, booms, and hydraulic systems, through processes like welding, cutting, and machining. Specialized assembly lines are then used to integrate these components into complete units, such as cranes, forklifts, and hoists. Quality control measures, including testing and inspection, are also an essential part of the production process to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of lifting and handling equipment include a variety of raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and other metals, as well as hydraulic and electrical components. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and tools, including welding equipment, CNC machines, and assembly lines. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the lifting and handling equipment industry are the various types of cranes, forklifts, hoists, and other material handling devices. These products are then consumed by a range of other industries, such as 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, 49.41 Freight transport by road, and 08.11 Quarrying of ornamental and building stone, limestone, gypsum, chalk and slate. The efficient movement and transportation of goods, materials, and machinery enabled by these products are essential for the smooth functioning of these downstream industries.
