MEC Micro 19-XD + Slab Electric Scissor Lift

Gold Award

Introduced to the North American market in March 2026, the MEC Micro 19-XD + is a 32-inch-wide slab electric micro scissor lift, featuring a maximum indoor working height of 24 feet, 4 inches and full-height drive capability indoors.

The Micro 19-XD + has a 600-pound maximum platform capacity and

Judges’ Comments

Too many new and improved safety features to list. Amazing technology! Next Gen!

Raises compact scissor expectations through greater capacity, longer runtime, and superior maneuverability.

300-pound deck extension capacity, reducing overload-related interruptions. The front-wheel AC direct-electric brushless drive motors increase duty cycles by 8 %, offering more use out of a single charge for operators and rental fleets.

Despite its compact footprint, the Micro 19-XD + drives similar to a larger electric scissor, using front-wheel drive, high-angle steering, an 8-inch inside turning radius, and 12-inch diameter, 4-inch-wide wheels. The scissor lift offers easier positioning through tight and congested indoor spaces and confident handling on trailer and truck ramps, thresholds, and uneven surfaces.

Other features of the Micro 19-XD + include the patented Xtra-Deck, MEC’ s patented Leak Containment System, durable, nonmarking tires, lubrication-free scissor bearings, a slide-out service tray, onboard diagnostics, AGM batteries, a lockable battery disconnect and theft-deterrent control box bracket, and a magnetic gate latch.

Skyjack SJ3232 E

Silver Award

Skyjack’ s new SJ3232E electric drive scissor lift features a narrow width, a machine length of 91.6 inches, and a 550-pound capacity, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The SJ3232E does not use stabilizers, making the lift drivable at full height, and weighs 5,850 pounds. According to the company, it can provide a clean, quiet, sustainable rental solution with zero emissions and low operating costs.

Judges’ Comments

Nice to see another 32-foot narrow lift that can be driven at full height.

The SJ3232 E delivers a very strong rental proposition by combining narrow dimensions, meaningful working height, full-height drive without stabilizers, and a relatively low machine weight.

The SJ3232E offers maneuverability and performance with a platform height of 31 feet, 6 inches, as well as smooth automatic transition from high to low speed and 25 % gradeability due to the intelligent adaptive variable-speed rear-wheel brushless electric drive system. Torque and traction are improved with fully proportional drive and lift controls.

With no stabilizers required, the lift provides a one-person outdoor wind rating, and the all-steel, anti-slip platform creates a large working area with multiple lanyard attachment points and a manually operated 3-foot roll-out extension deck for optimized work areas and up-and-over capability.

All major service points of the SJ3232E are easily accessible, and the lift features an on-board diagnostics display.
