About HS Code 841440
This HS code is dedicated to air compressors mounted on a wheeled chassis for towing, representing mobile, robust units primarily used in construction, roadwork, mining, and other outdoor industrial applications. These compressors provide compressed air for pneumatic tools, sandblasting equipment, and other heavy-duty machinery, offering flexibility and power on job sites without fixed infrastructure. Major importers and exporters include industrialized nations with active construction and infrastructure development, such as the USA, Germany, China, and the UK. The trade is driven by infrastructure projects, industrial expansion, and the need for portable power solutions in remote or temporary locations. Key aspects include engine power, air delivery capacity (CFM/m³/min), operating pressure, and durability to withstand harsh working conditions, making them indispensable for many heavy industries.
Products Under This Code
Portable diesel air compressors, Towable screw compressors, Mobile piston compressors, Construction site air compressors, Road repair air compressors, Mining air compressors (towable)
Real World Examples
Atlas Copco XAS series, Sullair 185, Doosan Portable Power P185, Kaeser M27, Chicago Pneumatic CPS
Common Misclassification
These towable compressors are distinct from stationary industrial air compressors (841480) or smaller, non-towable units, and misclassification can occur if their mobile, chassis-mounted design is overlooked.
Products Classified Under 8414.40
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
The United States, Germany, and China are major players in the import and export of towable air compressors for industrial use.
