The 1532ES is an electric scissor lift from the MEC Scissor Lift series. This model belongs to the aerial work platform category and follows the American type designation logic, where the first digits indicate the platform height in feet and the last digits indicate the platform width in inches. The designation ES stands for the electric indoor lift. As part of the manufacturer MEC's product range, the unit is designed for applications requiring a compact design and electric drive.
Technically, the lift presents itself with a length of 1,830 mm and a width of 810 mm. These dimensions enable maneuvering in tight indoor spaces, supported by a turning radius of 1,800 mm. The platform offers a load capacity of 272.2 kg and can be extended by 910.1 mm, which enlarges the working area without frequent repositioning of the machine. The drive is powered by a 24 V electrical system with four batteries and a capacity of 220 Ah. The maximum speed of 4.8 km/h is designed for safe movement during operation. The solid, non-marking tires of size 14x4.5 protect sensitive floors in halls and warehouse areas.
In the MEC Scissor Lift series, the 1532ES ranks 18th out of 18 models with specified weight, with a tare weight of 1,224.7 kg. It is therefore the lightest model in this comparison group. The next larger model is the 1932ES with a weight of 1,375 kg. The entire range of the series spans from 1,224.7 kg to 4,670 kg. This positioning shows that the 1532ES covers the lower end of the weight spectrum and is designed for applications where low self-weight and compact dimensions are the primary focus.
MEC scissor lifts 1532ES to 4191RT – the Californian lift builder from Kerman: the number as platform height in feet and width in inches, ES for Electric Scissor, RT for Rough Terrain with Kubota dual-fuel engine
MEC Aerial Work Platforms of Kerman in California's San Joaquin Valley is, alongside Genie, JLG, Skyjack and Snorkel, the fifth North American maker of scissor lifts – in business since the 1970s and aimed at rental fleets looking for simple, repair-friendly lifts. The type logic follows the American convention: the first digits give the platform height in feet, the last the platform width in inches – a 1532ES is 15 ft high and 32 in wide, a 2647ES 26 ft and 47 in, a 4191RT 41 ft and 91 in – ES stands for the electric indoor lift (Electric Scissor), RT for the rough-terrain lift with all-wheel drive and combustion engine, HD for the heavy-duty version with higher capacity. The RT models run on the Kubota DF752 dual-fuel engine burning petrol and LPG, as the register notes; the ES models run on battery.

The register lists 18 versions with service weights from 1,225 to 4,670 kg, lengths from 1,830 to 3,660 mm and widths from 810 to 2,310 mm.
MEC is a niche supplier focused on North America; its argument against the big names is simple electrics and hydraulics, valued by rental companies with their own workshop. In Europe MEC lifts are rare.
On used lifts, operating hours, battery condition on ES models, play in scissor pins and rails, hydraulic tightness, the function of tilt and overload sensors, on RT models the Kubota engine and gas system and a valid periodic inspection count; parts run through MEC dealers and Kubota.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
