32 in vs 46 in Wide: Which to Choose
- 32 in wide (GS-3232, SJ3232 E, MEC 3232SE): fits through standard 36 in doorways, so it can reach 32 ft inside finished buildings. The trade-off is a smaller platform, a 500 to 550 lb capacity and a heavier machine for its size.
- 46 in wide (GS-3246, SJ4632, 3246ES): the most common and least expensive 32 ft scissors. They carry 700 lb or more on a bigger deck but need double doors or a large opening.
Measure your narrowest doorway and check floor and elevator load limits before you shop. Every model here weighs about 5,000 lb or more.
Top 32 ft Scissor Lift Models
Genie GS-3232
The Genie GS-3232 is the most listed 32 ft scissor on FleetNow, with about 197 units. It reaches 32 ft 1 in on a 32 in chassis, so it fits through standard doorways, and carries 500 lb. Because narrow 32 ft lifts are less common, it holds its value better than the 46 in models. See our Genie GS-3232 guide.
Skyjack SJ4632
The Skyjack SJ4632 is a 46 in wide, 700 lb rental fleet favorite that an OHR Rents mechanic rated 5 out of 5 for serviceability. Skyjack has replaced it with the SJ4732 E. See our Skyjack SJ4632 review.
Genie GS-3246
The Genie GS-3246 is Genie’s 46 in wide 32 ft model, rated for 700 lb and still in production. Used units span almost two decades, so compare years and hours closely. See our Genie scissor lift guide.
JLG 3246ES
The JLG 3246ES carries 1,000 lb indoors (700 lb outdoors), the most of any common 32 ft slab scissor, and is the lightest of the 46 in models. JLG now sells this size as the ES3246. See our JLG 3246ES guide.
Other 32 ft Models
The MEC 3232SE is a narrow 32.7 in model with a 550 lb capacity, and FleetNow listings are 2025 and 2026 units. The LGMG AS3246E and Snorkel S3246E also show up in smaller numbers. See our MEC and LGMG scissor lift guides.
32 ft Rough Terrain Scissor Lifts
For outdoor jobsites, a 32 ft rough terrain scissor such as the Skyjack SJ6832 RT or Genie GS-3369 RT adds four-wheel drive, a bigger deck and about 1,000 lb of capacity, but it is about 70 in wide and weighs over 7,500 lb. See our Skyjack SJ6832 RT guide and rough terrain scissor lift guide.
What to Check Before Buying a Used 32 ft Scissor Lift
- Read the serial plate and decals for the model year, capacity, occupancy and indoor or outdoor rating.
- Check the hour meter and ask for maintenance and annual inspection records.
- Inspect the batteries for water level, corrosion and cracked cases. Charge fully and confirm the charger works.
- Raise to full height and lower. At 32 ft any shaking, noise or drifting down is easier to spot, and more important.
- Look for hydraulic leaks at the lift cylinder, hoses and pump.
- Inspect scissor arms, pins and bushings for cracks, bends, welds or excessive play.
- Drive forward, back and in full turns, stowed and raised, and test the brakes.
- Test the pothole protection, tilt alarm, emergency stop and emergency lowering.
- Check the guardrails, gate, extension deck, controls and tires.
- Confirm the width and weight work for your doorways, elevators and floors.
