The 3072ES is an electric scissor lift from the MEC Scissor Lift series manufactured by MEC. As a model in the ES series, it is designed for indoor use and on solid surfaces. The designation follows American convention, where the first digits indicate the platform height in feet and the last digits indicate the platform width in inches. This design targets users requiring a compact and maintenance-friendly aerial work platform for elevated tasks.
Technically, the machine is powered by a 48-volt drive system with eight batteries of 350 Ah each. The empty weight of 3,203 kg ensures stability, while the ground clearance of 240 mm allows it to overcome floor obstacles. The maximum speed of 4.8 km/h is designed for safe maneuverability. The turning radius of 4,330 mm enables operation in narrow aisles. The platform offers a load capacity of 454 kg and can be extended by 1,220.2 mm to increase reach. The lifting time of 36 s and lowering time of 28 s determine the cycle time for frequent height changes. The tire size 26x12D-380 NHS is optimized for smooth floors.
Within the MEC Scissor Lift series, the 3072ES ranks 11th out of 18 models with specified data, based on its empty weight of 3,203 kg. The next smaller model is the 3247ES at 2,717 kg, while the next larger model is the 3072RT at 3,329 kg. The range of empty weights across the entire series spans from 1,224.7 kg to 4,670 kg.
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.
