Selected Lifting Equipment and Components
MEC 3232SE AC
Lift-a-Loft MXT16
The MXT16 is a scissor-lift platform installed on a burden carrier chassis for compact, maneuverable access in aircraft maintenance and large industrial environments. The unit provides a 16-foot platform height and supports a 500-pound capacity for personnel, tools and materials. A 3-foot manual deck extension increases the usable work area when additional reach is required.
For stability during elevated operation, the MXT16 is equipped with deployable stabilizers that secure the vehicle before lifting. The burden-carrier base offers low ground pressure, tight turning capability and ease of transport inside facilities or across paved surfaces.
Typical uses include aircraft maintenance, general facility maintenance, light industrial tasks and areas where a small footprint lift is required.

Launched in 2024, MEC’ s 3232SE AC is a 32-foot, 32-inch-wide scissor lift that can drive fully elevated. The direct-electric drive design does not require outriggers or drive cut-outs and features a platform more than 10 feet long with a three-foot roll-out deck. AC front wheel drive motors provide maneuverability and proportional control.
MEC’ s 3232SE AC also features many operator-friendly solutions, including a two-in-one plug for power to the platform and machine charging. This prevents the unit from being left uncharged due to the use of an incorrect receptacle and allows the batteries to recharge while power is being used at the platform. Additionally, MEC’ s platform controller operates in the direction of intended motion for lift functions: forward / downward for lowering and rearward / upward for lifting. This inherently mitigates the risk of overhead entrapment.
Standard on the 3232SE AC is MEC’ s patented leak containment system, which protects sensitive flooring from hydraulic oil using easily accessible magnetic trays with absorbent pads positioned beneath hydraulic components. This eliminates the need for aftermarket diapers, which can impede machine performance. Non-marking tires are also standard for added flooring protection, as well as 24-volt, 240-amp-hour absorbent glass mat( AGM) maintenance-free batteries that help reduce service costs and support endurance. The 3232SE AC can be configured with several options, including MEC’ s 1,000-watt inverter, pipe racks and a tool tray. MEC also offers a perimeter laser light option that illuminates an adjustable border around the machine while it is on. This light alerts nearby personnel to remain outside the perimeter to avoid potential falling objects and also provides the operator with a visual positioning guide for positioning the chassis while driving. MEC’ s Proactive Platform Safety System( PPSS) is available on this model and uses an ultrasonic sensor at the platform controls to provide the operator with a warning of an overhead obstruction, serving as a secondary guarding system.
