manufactured in North America and joins the
MEC ‘92’ Ultra-Deck rough terrain scissor lift
series. It is based on the existing MEC 5492RT,
which up until now has been North America’s
tallest production scissor lift.
“The 6092RT takes large platform scissor lifts
to heights that have been designated only for
boom lifts, in the North American market,” says
a company spokesman.
The MEC 6092RT comes equipped with 24.6-
foot Ultra-Deck platform with dual slide decks,
a turbo charged diesel Kubota engine, MEC’s
exclusive Quad-Trax full time 4-wheel drive,
oscillating axle, automatic levelling outriggers
and engine slide out module.
“The justification behind the 6092RT is to
address the highly priced European competitive
models,” says Jim Tolle MEC director of
international markets. “We have recognized a
large gap in the large deck European scissor
lift product range versus the large deck North
American product range. You go from the
aggressively priced North American made
scissor lift, which up until now, has been
limited by height to the highly priced European
made scissor lift. Until now the few meters of
increased height would cost the customer a
50-100 percent premium over a North American
made machine.”
Tolle adds that the idea is not to displace
‘European-style’ large deck scissors lift, but
to offer a lower cost alternative with return on
investment being a major consideration.
“For our North American customers the
6092RT takes the operator to a 6 story level
that up until now has been deemed a boom
lift category with small compact platforms,”
Tolle says. “Our customers have already made
commitments to pre-product units, as a result
of our second quarter 2014 production date
