Federal obligations in overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing (NAICS 333923)

Shop-lifting equipment as a $1.02 billion manufacturing tag

Shipyards, depots, and industrial shops buy overhead cranes, hoists, and monorail systems from manufacturers classified in 333923. Tagged contract obligations sum to $1,023,248,514.83. That is not a count of cranes installed and not a construction-put-in-place statistic. Physical units are not in the packet facts.

Installation of a crane can be coded to construction or to this manufacturing NAICS depending on the vendor and the principal purpose of the award. This page does not re-tag those actions. $1,023,248,514.83 is the 333923 manufacturing-coded slice on 2,274 awards.

2,274 awards and a mid manufacturing average

Two thousand two hundred seventy-four awards against $1,023,248,514.83 averages about $450,000 per action. That sits between catalog fasteners and concentrated capital-machinery residuals. Spare hoists, components, and full overhead systems can share the code. The average is the ratio of the two packet facts; the industry hub is the size mix.

Industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery manufacturing is a different NAICS in this slice (forklifts and related floor equipment). Overhead traveling systems are ceiling-mounted or rail-mounted lifting equipment. Keep 333923 and 333924 separate in any “material handling” spreadsheet.

Rental, construction, and manufacturing boundaries

A construction contractor that rents a mobile crane is generally not 333923. A manufacturer of overhead traveling cranes is. Mobile crane rental and construction equipment rental use other codes. The $1,023,248,514.83 follows the manufacturing tag, not every lifting job on a federal site.

Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that equips a workshop with a hoist will usually miss this rollup. Contract manufacturing tags are this page’s universe.

A complete citation of this industry is $1,023,248,514.83 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333923, overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing, on 2,274 awards. Anything less—dropping the NAICS, dropping the word obligations, or dropping the contract-only universe—overstates what the extract contains. The packet facts do not include a fiscal year, so this guide does not invent one. Live tables on the industry hub can move when USAspending posts modifications; the harvested pair remains $1,023,248,514.83 and 2,274.

Obligation versus installation payments

Crane contracts often obligate design-and-build or equipment-plus-install packages, then pay on milestones. The $1,023,248,514.83 is committed value on 2,274 tagged actions, not cash already paid at commissioning. Outlays can lag. Modifications for site conditions can raise or lower obligations.

Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle forklift manufacturing, mobile-crane rental, and construction erection may land in 333923 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Industrial truck machinery (333924) is floor equipment; 333923 is overhead systems. The public-record stance is to keep $1,023,248,514.83 attached to 333923 as tagged, then separate complete overhead systems from hoist-component orders in the 2,274 rows. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.

Hub navigation

Open the crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing industry page for the 2,274 awards behind $1,023,248,514.83. Use the all-industries directory for industrial trucks and other 3339 machinery codes. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.

Overhead systems are not plant-floor industrial trucks

Award count interprets the buying pattern. 2,274 actions producing $1,023,248,514.83 is mid-count manufacturing of overhead lifting systems and components, with about $450,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 2,274 is not a count of unique companies and not a count of physical units. Use the hub amount sort to see whether a few large rows plus a long tail make up most of the tagged total.

Outlays remain a separate USAspending concept. An agency can obligate $1,023,248,514.83 across 2,274 tagged overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing actions and pay on a different calendar. De-obligations after cancellations reduce the obligation ledger; they do not rewrite the fact that this NAICS has been a large tagged category in the harvest. Assistance without NAICS still sits outside even when the real-world activity looks similar. Program pages answer the grant question; this page answers the tagged-contract question.

Internal links on this file point only to the overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing industry page and the all-industries directory. Those are the packet hrefs. Neighboring industry codes mentioned in prose are classification context only. Source note, copied from the packet: NAICS from USAspending contract awards. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. The overlay’s job is to state $1,023,248,514.83, 2,274, the obligation unit, and the boundary around forklift manufacturing, mobile-crane rental, and construction erection.

Questions

How much has the federal government obligated on crane and hoist manufacturing?

NAICS 333923 shows $1,023,248,514.83 in obligations on 2,274 USAspending contract awards. That is overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing as tagged, not crane rental. The unit is obligations, not outlays. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333923, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 2,274-award extract behind $1,023,248,514.83.

Does 333923 include forklifts?

No. Industrial truck and stacker machinery is a different NAICS. This page’s $1,023,248,514.83 is overhead traveling cranes, hoists, and monorail systems on 2,274 tagged awards. Open the industrial-truck code separately. Industrial truck machinery (333924) is floor equipment; 333923 is overhead systems. Keep $1,023,248,514.83 attached to 333923 as tagged on 2,274 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.

Is mobile crane rental in this total?

Generally no. 333923 is manufacturing of overhead systems. Rental and construction services use other codes. Award descriptions on the industry hub are the check for any mixed action inside the $1,023,248,514.83. That pattern is mid-count manufacturing of overhead lifting systems and components, with about $450,000 per action as the simple average of $1,023,248,514.83 over 2,274 awards. Separate complete overhead systems from hoist-component orders in the 2,274 rows.

Are shop-equipment grants included?

Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 2,274-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $1,023,248,514.83 obligated on 2,274 overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
