HS Code 8425.19 – Pulley tackle and hoists; not powered by an electric motor (excluding skip hoists or hoists of a kind used for raising vehicles)
HS code 8425.19 is the 6-digit subheading for pulley tackle and hoists, not powered by an electric motor (excluding skip hoists or hoists of a kind used for raising vehicles). It is used for manual chain hoists, lever hoists (manual), pneumatic hoists, hydraulic hoists (lifting) and hand winches (lifting).
What HS 8425.19 covers
This category encompasses pulley tackle and hoists that operate without an electric motor, relying instead on manual power, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems. These non-electric hoists are vital for lifting and positioning heavy objects in environments where electricity is unavailable, impractical, or hazardous, such as remote construction sites, marine applications, or explosive atmospheres. Importers include construction firms, marine equipment suppliers, and industrial maintenance companies seeking robust and reliable lifting solutions. Exporters are manufacturers specializing in durable, often explosion-proof or highly portable, lifting solutions. Trade focuses on durability, safety ratings, ease of operation, and compliance with industry-specific certifications. The market is influenced by niche industrial needs, safety regulations, and the demand for versatile, independent lifting capabilities.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
