MEC Scissor Lifts: Models, Specs and Prices

Last updated: October 2026

MEC Aerial Work Platforms builds slab scissor lifts for indoor work and rough terrain scissor lifts for job sites, from the compact Micro13-XD up to the 60 ft 6092RT Ultra Deck. MEC lifts are common in rental fleets, so there are plenty of used units to choose from, especially the Micro19 and 1330SE.

This guide covers who makes MEC lifts, the current and older models with their specs, what used MEC scissor lifts sell for on FleetNow, and what to check before you buy one.

MEC started in 1976 in Mayville, Wisconsin, as the aerial work platform division of Mayville Engineering. In 2002 the division was sold and moved to California, and in 2004 California Manufacturing and Engineering Co. took over building the lifts under the MEC name. The company is now based in Kerman, California, near Fresno.

China’s Zhejiang Dingli, one of the largest aerial lift makers in the world, began working with MEC in 2016, bought a 25% stake in 2017 and agreed in October 2023 to buy the rest of the company. Trade press now describes MEC as wholly owned by Dingli, with newer machines built in China to MEC’s designs. MEC still handles engineering, sales, parts and training in the US, and in 2025 it opened a parts and training center in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

MEC also builds vertical mast lifts such as the MME25 and boom lifts. See our MEC MME25 review or shop all used MEC equipment.

MEC sorts its scissor lifts into a few families. Model numbers usually start with the platform height, so a 4069RT reaches a 40 ft platform and the 1330SE reaches 13 ft.

• Nano and Micro: small slab lifts for tight indoor spaces, from the 10 ft Nano10-XD to the 26 ft Micro26. XD models add a 20 in Xtra-Deck that one person can step up onto. The Micro19 is by far the most common MEC lift for sale on FleetNow.
• SE slab lifts: the 1330SE, 1930SE, 2632SE, 3232SE and the wider 3346SE, 4046SE and 4555SE. Current versions use AC electric drive (often listed as SEac or AC), while older units used DC drive and some have lower capacity.
• PLUS series (2026): updated Micro19+, Micro26+, 3232+, 3346+, 4046+ and 4555+ models with more efficient AC motors that recapture energy and up to 100 lb more capacity. Few have reached the used market yet.
• Rough terrain: the Speed Level 2684 and 3084 (now discontinued), the 3369 and 4069 in diesel (RT) or battery (ERT) versions, and the 60 ft 6092RT Ultra Deck.

MEC’s lineup changes often, and the same model name may cover several generations with different ratings. Always check the serial plate and decals for the capacity, occupancy and outdoor limits of the exact unit you’re buying.

Slab scissor lifts are electric and built for smooth, level floors such as warehouses, stores and finished buildings. Working height is about 6 ft more than the platform height. Specs below are from MEC’s current spec sheets (US models); older units may differ.

Most MEC slab lifts allow two people indoors but only one outdoors, and the taller models have lower outdoor limits: the 4046SE can be raised outdoors only up to 28 ft and the 4555SE up to 30 ft. MEC’s own pages list slightly different weights for some models (for example 5,670 or 5,820 lb for the 3346SE), so use the serial plate when weight matters for floor loads or trailers.

MEC’s rough terrain lifts have four-wheel drive, wide decks and higher capacities for outdoor job sites. RT models run on a Kubota diesel engine, and ERT models run on a 48-volt battery system, so they can work indoors and on sites with emissions limits.

Speed Level models were also sold as battery-powered ES versions (2684ES and 3084ES). Sources disagree on the Speed Level weights and widths, which changed between model years, so confirm them on the serial plate. For other brands, see our rough terrain scissor lift guide or shop all used rough terrain scissor lifts.

• Tight indoor spaces and light work: the Micro13-XD or 1330SE. They fit through standard doorways and weigh about 2,000 lb, which suits finished floors and small elevators.
• General indoor maintenance and installs: the Micro19 or 1930SE. A 19 ft platform (about 25 ft working height) covers most ceilings in stores, offices and warehouses.
• Taller ceilings in narrow aisles: the Micro26, 2632SE or 3232SE, all about 32 in wide.
• More deck space and capacity indoors: the 3346SE, 4046SE or 4555SE, which are 47 to 55 in wide and carry 750 to 800 lb.
• Outdoor job sites: the 3369RT or 4069RT on dirt and gravel, or the ERT versions where you need zero emissions. For 60 ft heavy work, look at the 6092RT.

MEC competes with Genie, JLG and Skyjack in every size class, and the specs of comparable models are close. The main differences for a used buyer are supply, price and parts.

• Supply: Genie, JLG and Skyjack lifts are more common in rental fleets, but MEC’s Micro19 and 1330SE are widely available, and FleetNow lists over 1,000 used MEC scissor lifts.
• Price: the compact Micro19 usually lists higher than standard 19 ft lifts such as the Genie GS-1930, while MEC’s standard 1930SE lists in a similar range. Compare year, hours and inspection records more than brand.
• Design: MEC’s Micro and XD models stand out for their step-up Xtra-Deck, and its wide SE models carry more weight than most 32 in lifts.
• Parts and service: MEC has US parts support from Kerman, California, and Spartanburg, South Carolina, but fewer local dealers than the bigger brands. Check parts availability for older models before you buy.

• Full lineup from 10 ft micro lifts to a 60 ft rough terrain lift
• Large used supply of Micro19 and 1330SE lifts keeps prices low
• Xtra-Deck models give one worker an extra 20 in of reach
• Wide SE models carry 750 to 800 lb indoors
• Rough terrain models come in diesel, dual fuel and battery versions

• Fewer dealers and service shops than Genie or JLG in many areas
• Ratings changed between generations, so older units may carry less
• Many used units are former rental machines with heavy use
• Taller slab models have lower height and occupant limits outdoors
• Speed Level and other older models are discontinued, so check parts before buying

Used MEC slab scissor lifts start at about $3,000 for an older 1330SE, and most 19 ft Micro19 lifts list for $7,400 to $8,300. Newer and larger models cost much more. Dealer prices for a new 2026 Micro19 ran about $15,850 to $18,150 plus freight in October 2026.

The table shows FleetNow asking prices for used MEC scissor lifts in October 2026. A few large sellers list many identical units, so prices for popular models cluster tightly.

Age drives most of the price difference. In October 2026, the median Micro19 asking price was about $7,400 for a 2018 unit, $8,000 for 2019, $10,100 for 2021 and $11,500 for 2025. The 1330SE went from about $4,200 (2018) to $5,200 (2021) and $10,790 for nearly new 2025 units. The 4555SE ranged from about $20,500 for a 2018 unit to $42,500 for a 2025 unit.

Prices change daily. See current listings for used MEC scissor lifts.

• Serial plate and decals: confirm the model, year, capacity, indoor and outdoor occupancy and maximum drive height. Older DC units and newer AC or PLUS units with the same name can have different ratings.
• Inspection records: ask for the last annual inspection and any repair history. Former rental units often have complete records.
• Batteries and charger: check battery age, look for corrosion or swelling, and confirm the charger works and the lift runs a full shift. Replacing a full battery set can cost $1,000 or more.
• Hours: compare hour meter readings, but weigh them against condition. Slab lifts often log low hours and still wear hard.
• Scissor arms and pins: look for bent arms, cracked welds, worn pins and bushings, and play in the stack when raised.
• Hydraulics: check the lift cylinder, hoses and fittings for leaks, and make sure the platform holds height without drifting down.
• Safety systems: test the pothole guards, tilt alarm, emergency stop, emergency lowering and overload sensing, if equipped.
• Tires and drive: slab lifts should have non-marking tires in good shape. On RT models, check the engine, four-wheel drive, axle oscillation and outriggers.
• Platform and Xtra-Deck: make sure the gate closes, the guardrails are tight and the extension deck slides and locks.
