Description
The MEC MMAE16 is a vertical mast lift made for precise work in compact spaces. With a frame only 30 inches in width, this machine fits in tight spaces without issue. Consequently, it can make great use of its 16 foot platform height in places that its competitors wouldn’t be able to reach. Additionally, the MEC MMAE16 sports wide, non-marking tires for the lowest possible ground pressure.
