Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This subclass covers the manufacturing of various types of equipment designed for lifting, loading, and unloading materials. It includes the production of cranes, conveyor systems, lifts, escalators, and specialized parts for these machines, as well as hand-operated and power-driven machinery used in these processes.
This classification includes
- conveyor system, manufacturing
- cranes and crane lorries, manufacturing
- food lifts, manufacturing
- hand operated or power driven lifting, loading or unloading machinery
- lifts, escalators and moving walkways, manufacturing
- parts specialised for lifting, loading or unloading equipment, manufacturing
- works trucks and wheelbarrows, manufacturing
Classified elsewhere
These activities look similar but belong under different codes.
- floating cranes, manufacturing
- industrial robots for multiple uses, manufacturing
- installation of lifts and escalators

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowManufacturing activities are typically tied to physical premises in Hong Kong. Contracts for the sale of equipment are often negotiated and concluded within the region. The nature of the business requires local operations and customer interactions.
