Overhead Traveling Cranes on Fixed Support imports of $12.6M in July 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $11.1M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataOverhead traveling cranes mounted on fixed runway structures — the workhorses of steel mills, fabrication shops, and heavy manufacturing facilities — classify under 842611 at tariff line 8426110000. Canada leads US imports under this heading, a pattern consistent with cross-border capital equipment trade in the manufacturing corridor, with Italy and India also notable sources. These cranes are distinguished from mobile or rail-mounted variants by their fixed overhead runway, and their large physical size often means they are imported in disassembled sections, raising questions about whether components or complete assemblies are being entered. Span, lifting capacity (in tonnes), duty cycle, and hook height are the primary engineering parameters that drive procurement specifications.

Under GRI 2(a), an incomplete or unassembled article is classified as the complete article if it has the essential character of the finished good. A crane imported in sections with all major structural and mechanical components present would generally be classified as a complete overhead traveling crane under 8426110000 rather than as parts. However, if only structural steelwork or individual components are imported without the hoisting mechanism, parts classification under heading 8431 may be more appropriate. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for large, multi-shipment crane projects.
842611 covers cranes that travel on a fixed elevated runway permanently attached to a building structure — the classic 'top-running' or 'underhung' bridge crane. Gantry cranes, which are self-supporting on legs running on floor-level rails rather than a building-mounted runway, fall under 842619. The distinction matters because the two subheadings can carry different duty rates, and misclassification is a common audit finding for large capital equipment imports.
