Removal services

NACE v2.1 Code: H49.42

About removal services

NACE code 49.42 covers the removal services industry, which plays a vital role in the broader economy. This industry is responsible for the transportation and relocation of goods, equipment, and personal belongings for both commercial and residential customers. Removal services are essential for businesses and individuals undergoing office or home relocations, as well as for the transportation of specialized or bulky items that cannot be easily moved by the owners themselves.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the removal services industry involve the careful packing, loading, transportation, and unloading of goods. Removal companies utilize a range of vehicles, from small vans to large trucks, to accommodate the varying size and volume of items being transported. Specialized equipment, such as dollies, trolleys, and lifting gear, may be used to handle heavy or delicate items. Removal teams are trained in efficient packing and loading techniques to ensure the safe and secure transportation of goods.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the removal services industry include vehicles (such as vans, trucks, and trailers), packing materials (e.g., boxes, bubble wrap, and tape), and labor. Removal companies may also require specialized equipment, such as furniture pads, straps, and lifting devices, to handle bulky or fragile items. Additionally, the industry relies on fuel, maintenance services, and insurance coverage to support its operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of the removal services industry is the successful transportation and relocation of goods, equipment, and personal belongings. The services provided by this industry are consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 68.10 Buying and selling of own real estate, 68.20 Renting and operating of own or leased real estate, 77.12 Renting and leasing of trucks, and 82.11 Combined office administrative service activities.
