8426.41.00.10 - Cable operated

This HTS category, 8426.41.00.10, specifically classifies mobile lifting frames, straddle carriers, and works trucks that are fitted with a crane and are self-propelled on tires, with the distinguishing feature that their crane mechanism is operated by cables. This means the lifting and movement of loads are controlled through a system of ropes, pulleys, and winches.

This specific classification distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8426.41.00.90, which covers other self-propelled, tire-mounted mobile lifting machines with cranes but are *not* cable-operated. The key differentiator is the operating mechanism of the crane itself. If the crane utilizes hydraulic cylinders, electric motors directly driving boom articulation, or other non-cable based systems, it would fall under the "Other" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories for this particular code. Therefore, classification within 8426.41.00.10 is definitive based on the machine being self-propelled, tire-mounted, fitted with a crane, and specifically employing a cable-operated mechanism for its crane functions. This scope encompasses a variety of specialized equipment used in ports, construction sites, and industrial yards for lifting and transporting heavy materials.
