industrial machinery
Heavy manufacturing equipment
Industrial machinery refers to heavy equipment used in manufacturing, construction, and other large-scale production processes—the machines that make other things.
This includes lathes, presses, conveyors, cranes, and automated assembly systems.
The term distinguishes commercial-grade equipment from household appliances or hand tools: The factory floor was lined with industrial machinery.
Insurance policies and safety regulations often treat industrial machinery as a distinct category.
