Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not self-propelled
Non-self-propelled boring rigs shift to other boring machinery, changing duty treatment.
If primarily a dump truck chassis with minor boring attachment
Classification follows principal function; vehicle heading applies if transport dominates over boring.
If for semiconductor wafer boule boring or sinking
Special statistical provisions for semiconductor manufacturing equipment may reclassify under machines not elsewhere specified.
