The 4191ES is an electric scissor lift manufactured by MEC as part of the MEC Scissor Lift series. As a model from the ES series, it is an indoor lift designed for use in enclosed spaces. The model designation follows American convention, where the initial digits indicate the platform height in feet and the final digits indicate the platform width in inches. This specific configuration is intended for applications requiring an emission-free and quiet work platform.
Technically, the machine is powered by a 48-volt electrical system with eight batteries offering a capacity of 375 Ah. The platform provides a load capacity of 454 kg and an extension of 1,220.2 mm, allowing for flexible worker positioning. With a maximum travel speed of 4.3 km/h, the lift is designed for slow, precise maneuvers. The lift time of 45 seconds and the descent time of 52 seconds determine the rhythm of height adjustment. The ground clearance of 304.8 mm and the turning radius of 4,950 mm define its maneuverability on level surfaces. The 12-16.5 NHS tire size is tailored to the requirements of indoor floors.
Within the MEC Scissor Lift series, the 4191ES ranks first among the 18 compared models with an empty weight of 4,670 kg. The next smaller model is the 4191RT, weighing 4,400 kg. The total range of empty weights in this series spans from 1,224.7 kg to the 4,670 kg of the 4191ES.
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.
