Federal obligations in industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery manufacturing (NAICS 333924)
Industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery manufacturing, NAICS 333924, accounts for $812,755,200.13 in federal contract obligations on 2,479 awards in USAspending.gov data indexed here. The industry is manufacturing of forklifts, industrial tractors, stackers, and related plant-floor handling machines—not highway trucks and not overhead traveling cranes. Dollars are obligations, not outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grant-funded warehouse equipment that never becomes a contract sits outside this total.
Key figures
- NAICS 333924 contract obligations are $812,755,200.13 on 2,479 awards.
- The code is industrial trucks and stackers, not highway trucks or overhead cranes.
- Average action size is about $328,000.
- Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays or forklift counts.
- Assistance without NAICS is excluded.
Plant-floor handling machines at $812.8 million
Federal warehouses, depots, and industrial shops buy forklifts, industrial tractors, trailers, and stackers from manufacturers classified in 333924. Tagged obligations sum to $812,755,200.13. That is not a count of forklifts on hand. Unit counts are not in the packet facts.
Overhead traveling crane, hoist, and monorail system manufacturing (333923) is ceiling-mounted lifting equipment in this slice. Light-truck and heavy-duty truck manufacturing (336112, 336120) are on-highway complete vehicles. $812,755,200.13 is industrial truck and stacker machinery on 2,479 awards.
2,479 awards and a capital-equipment average
Two thousand four hundred seventy-nine awards against $812,755,200.13 averages about $328,000 per action. That fits complete industrial trucks and related machines better than $4,000 fastener orders. Parts and attachments can still sit in the code and pull the average down. The industry hub shows the mix behind $812,755,200.13.
This guide does not name lift capacities or brands. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 2,479 count.
Forklifts versus highway trucks versus overhead cranes
An industrial forklift manufacturer should be 333924. A pickup or heavy-duty highway truck manufacturer should be 336112 or 336120. An overhead crane manufacturer should be 333923. Dual-role firms can be tagged either way. The $812,755,200.13 follows the 333924 tag as recorded on 2,479 actions.
Assistance awards may not carry NAICS. A grant that equips a food bank warehouse will usually miss this manufacturing rollup.
A complete citation of this industry is $812,755,200.13 in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333924, industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery manufacturing, on 2,479 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 $812,755,200.13 and 2,479.
Obligations on machine lots
Industrial-truck contracts often obligate a quantity and pay on delivery and acceptance. The $812,755,200.13 is committed value on 2,479 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every stacker. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlay fields track payments.
Classification errors are expected at the margin. Vendors that straddle highway light and heavy trucks and overhead traveling cranes may land in 333924 on some actions and in a neighbor on others. Overhead crane manufacturing is 333923; on-highway trucks are 336112 and 336120. The public-record stance is to keep $812,755,200.13 attached to 333924 as tagged, then separate complete stackers from attachments in the 2,479 rows where descriptions allow. Re-tagging the extract by hand is out of scope for this overlay.
Hub navigation
Open the industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery manufacturing industry page for the 2,479 awards behind $812,755,200.13. Use the all-industries directory for overhead cranes and highway trucks without merging their dollars into this forklift-and-stacker total. Source: USAspending.gov contract awards.
Industrial trucks are not on-highway complete vehicles
Award count interprets the buying pattern. 2,479 actions producing $812,755,200.13 is thousands of plant-floor handling-machine orders, with about $328,000 per action as the simple average. That average hides mix: modifications, options, and delivery orders all increment count. 2,479 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 $812,755,200.13 across 2,479 tagged industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery 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 industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery 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 $812,755,200.13, 2,479, the obligation unit, and the boundary around highway light and heavy trucks and overhead traveling cranes.
Questions
- How much federal contracting is coded to industrial truck and stacker manufacturing?
- NAICS 333924 shows $812,755,200.13 in obligations on 2,479 USAspending contract awards. That is industrial trucks, tractors, trailers, and stackers as tagged, not highway trucks. The unit is obligations, not outlays or unit counts. Quote it as USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 333924, not as cash outlays. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so grants remain outside the 2,479-award extract behind $812,755,200.13.
- Does 333924 include pickup trucks?
- No. Light truck manufacturing is NAICS 336112. Heavy-duty trucks are 336120. This page’s $812,755,200.13 is industrial plant-floor machinery on 2,479 tagged awards. Overhead crane manufacturing is 333923; on-highway trucks are 336112 and 336120. Keep $812,755,200.13 attached to 333924 as tagged on 2,479 actions; do not merge neighbor codes into the same unlabeled cell.
- Is this the same as overhead crane manufacturing?
- No. Overhead traveling cranes, hoists, and monorails are NAICS 333923. This page follows the 333924 industrial-truck tag. Open 333923 separately from the all-industries list. That pattern is thousands of plant-floor handling-machine orders, with about $328,000 per action as the simple average of $812,755,200.13 over 2,479 awards. Separate complete stackers from attachments in the 2,479 rows where descriptions allow.
- Are warehouse-equipment grants included?
- Usually not. Assistance awards may not carry NAICS, so they fall outside this 2,479-award contract extract. Use program pages for grants. This industry guide covers tagged contracts only: $812,755,200.13 obligated on 2,479 industrial truck, tractor, trailer, and stacker machinery manufacturing awards in USAspending. Outlays are a different field; assistance without NAICS is a different award type.
