U.S. imports of self-propelled cranes, derricks & works trucks not on tires (non-electric) (HS 842649) totaled $55.8M in July 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Self-Propelled Cranes, Derricks & Works Trucks Not on Tires (Non-Electric) paid $10.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $55.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCrawler cranes, rail-mounted lifting equipment, and other self-propelled lifting machinery that travels on tracks, crawlers, or non-tire undercarriages are captured here — configurations favored for heavy lifts on soft ground or in rail-served industrial environments. Austria leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and Japan, reflecting European and Japanese specialization in crawler and specialty crane platforms. The two 10-digit lines — cable-operated machinery (8426490010) and the residual category (8426490090) — hinge on whether the hoisting mechanism is cable-driven, so technical documentation on the drive system is a practical classification requirement. Importers should distinguish these units from tire-mounted equivalents under 842641 to avoid misclassification.

If the crane's primary hoisting mechanism uses wire rope or cable — as in most lattice-boom crawler cranes — it falls under 8426490010. Hydraulic-cylinder-driven lifting systems, common in compact specialty cranes, would typically land in the residual line 8426490090. Manufacturer technical sheets specifying the hoisting drive type are the most reliable classification support.
Austria hosts several globally recognized manufacturers of specialty crawler and rail-mounted cranes, particularly for heavy industrial and infrastructure applications. This niche manufacturing concentration — rather than broad industrial scale — explains Austria's prominence in this specific product category.
