Last updated: August 2026 dataBattery-powered works trucks used in factories, warehouses, and similar industrial settings — excluding lifting or handling equipment — are classified here when electrically driven, with the US schedule distinguishing operator-riding models (8709110030) from pedestrian-controlled units (8709110060). Canada leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and France, reflecting European dominance in industrial electric vehicle manufacturing. As electrification of industrial fleets accelerates, importers should confirm that vehicles with any integrated lifting mechanism are excluded from this heading and classified instead under heading 8427.

Heading 870911 covers works trucks that do not lift or handle goods — they transport personnel or materials horizontally within a facility. Vehicles equipped with forks, platforms, or other lifting mechanisms are classified under heading 8427 as fork-lift trucks or works trucks fitted with lifting equipment, regardless of whether they are electrically powered.
Yes, the US schedule separates operator-riding electric works trucks (8709110030) from those without a riding position (8709110060), and these lines may carry different duty rates. Importers should confirm the vehicle's design — specifically whether the operator rides on the machine or walks alongside it — before filing entry.
