Transportation Equipment Manufacturing
Industries in the Transportation Equipment Manufacturing Sub-Section produce equipment for transporting people and goods. Transportation equipment is a type of machinery.
Establishments in this Sub-Section utilize production processes similar to those of other machinery manufacturing establishments - bending, forming, welding, machining, and assembling metal or plastic parts into components and finished products. However, the assembly of components and subassemblies and their further assembly into finished vehicles tends to be a more common production process in this Sub-Section than in the Machinery Manufacturing Sub-Section.
Land use motor vehicle equipment not designed for highway operation (e.g., agricultural equipment, construction equipment, and materials handling equipment) is classified in the appropriate Sub-Section based on the type and use of the equipment.
