The United Nations has purchased a number of Grove AT422T all-terrain cranes and has them in use in many different locations working on a wide range of projects. Machines are presently at work in the Congo, Italy and Lebanon. Additionally, a unit is scheduled for delivery to East Timor in early 2002.

The AT422T is equipped with a 70-ft. (21.4 m) full-power, three-section main boom and has a lifting capacity of 22 tons (20 t). It provides highway travel speeds and, with four-wheel drive, the performance characteristics of a rough-terrain crane for off-road use.

The unit also features multiple steering modes which provides excellent maneuverability in tight quarters. A special hydraulic circuit and hydraulic hose reel mounted on the boom allow use of a hydraulic clamshell or grapple in addition to the normal lifting functions.

Grove products are marketed as Grove Crane, National Crane, and Grove Manlift aerial work platforms.
