NATO Supply Class 3920 refers to Material Handling Equipment, Nonself-Propelled. This class is part of NATO Supply Group 39, which is dedicated to Materials Handling Equipment.

Material Handling Equipment refers to any machinery or equipment used for the movement, storage, control, and protection of materials, goods, and products. Nonself-Propelled equipment means that it does not have its own means of propulsion and requires external force or power to operate.

Examples of Material Handling Equipment in Class 3920 include:

1. Cranes: These are used for lifting and moving heavy objects or materials. They can be operated manually or powered by electricity, hydraulics, or other sources.

2. Hoists: Hoists are used for lifting and lowering loads vertically. They can be manual or powered and are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and warehousing.

3. Lifts: Lifts are used to raise or lower people or goods between different levels. They can be found in buildings, warehouses, and other facilities.

4. Conveyors: Conveyors are used to transport materials or goods from one location to another. They can be powered by electricity, gravity, or other means and are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, mining, and logistics.

5. Forklifts: Forklifts are used for lifting and moving heavy loads over short distances. They are commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and construction sites.

6. Pallet trucks: Pallet trucks, also known as pallet jacks, are used for moving palletized loads. They are manually operated and are commonly found in warehouses and retail stores.

7. Stackers: Stackers are used for stacking and retrieving loads in warehouses or storage facilities. They can be manual or powered and are designed to handle palletized or non-palletized loads.

These are just a few examples of the types of equipment included in NATO Supply Class 3920. The class encompasses a wide range of nonself-propelled material handling equipment used in various industries and applications.
