				and repair of heavy equipment. Machinery and equipment subject to this
				classification are usually made of steel and steel/iron castings and include,
				but are not limited to, bulldozers, dump trucks, graders, skidders, forklifts
				and logging towers. The component parts may weigh several hundred to thousands
				of pounds. Overhead cranes are commonly used in the assembly process. Machinery
				used in the manufacturing, assembly, and repair includes, but is not limited

				classification include paint, welding, and electronic assembly areas. This
				classification also includes establishments that repair, recoat or resurface
				press rollers such as, but not limited to, the type rollers used by printing

				rollers, then grinding fiberglass or ceramic finishes until they are smooth.
				For rubber-coated surfaces, they remove the old rubber from the metal surface,
				sandblast the roller, then recoat it with new rubber. Most establishments that
				recoat the surface with rubber will mix and extrude their own rubber which is
				included in this classification when performed by employees of employers
				subject to this classification.
This classification excludes the manufacture of nonpassenger
				type vehicles such as semi-trucks which are to be reported in classification
