About this level

Practical summary

Class 2816 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 28 Manufacture of Machinery and Equipment, n.e.c. > 281 Manufacture of general purpose machinery. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Manufacture of Lifting and Hoisting Machinery, Cranes, Elevators, Industrial Trucks, Tractors, Stackers, Specialized Ports for Lifting and Handling Equipment, Manufacture of Derricks, Lifting and Handling Equipment for Contruction and Mining, and Manufacture of Marine Capstans, Pulley Tackel and Hoists, etc.. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.

Administrative context

Where this code is used

This class is used when a business can already narrow the activity family and only needs to compare the final subclasses such as Manufacture of Lifting and Hoisting Machinery, Cranes, Elevators, Industrial Trucks, Tractors, Stackers, Specialized Ports for Lifting and Handling Equipment, Manufacture of Derricks, Lifting and Handling Equipment for Contruction and Mining, and Manufacture of Marine Capstans, Pulley Tackel and Hoists, etc.. It is the level most often checked before a five-digit decision is finalized.

Selection note

How to choose it

Use this class to choose between its final subclasses such as Manufacture of Lifting and Hoisting Machinery, Cranes, Elevators, Industrial Trucks, Tractors, Stackers, Specialized Ports for Lifting and Handling Equipment, Manufacture of Derricks, Lifting and Handling Equipment for Contruction and Mining, and Manufacture of Marine Capstans, Pulley Tackel and Hoists, etc.. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.
