NATO Supply Class 3810 refers to the category of Cranes And Crane-Shovels within NATO Supply Group 38, which encompasses Construction, Mining, Excavating, And Highway Maintenance Equipment.

Cranes and crane-shovels are heavy-duty machines used for lifting and moving heavy objects in various industries, including construction, mining, and excavation. They are essential for tasks that require heavy lifting, such as loading and unloading materials, moving equipment, and constructing structures.

NATO Supply Class 3810 includes a wide range of cranes and crane-shovels, including mobile cranes, tower cranes, crawler cranes, and hydraulic cranes. These machines are designed to handle different load capacities and have various features to suit specific applications.

In military operations, cranes and crane-shovels are crucial for tasks such as logistics support, construction of infrastructure, and recovery operations. They play a vital role in moving heavy equipment, supplies, and materials in challenging environments.

The NATO Supply Group 38, to which NATO Supply Class 3810 belongs, focuses on equipment used in construction, mining, excavating, and highway maintenance. This group includes a wide range of machinery and tools necessary for these industries, such as bulldozers, excavators, loaders, graders, and road rollers.

By categorizing equipment into supply groups and classes, NATO aims to standardize the identification and classification of military equipment. This helps in procurement, logistics planning, and interoperability among NATO member countries.
