— machines for which the hydraulic jack can only be manually operated;
— injection blow moulding machines;
— machines for reaction injection moulding;
— compression moulding machines and transfer moulding machines;
— direct-on sole moulding machines, unit sole and footwear component moulding machines, full shoe and boot moulding machines;
— design of an exhaust system;
