MEC Lift Parts

When a MEC lift stops raising its platform, loses drive or won't take a charge, the fix is usually a seal kit, a battery cable, a charger or a joystick board. Our MEC lift parts page lists 147 aftermarket replacements for exactly those jobs, and more than one in five is a seal kit. They're made to fit MEC equipment rather than made by MEC, so the MEC name and number in each listing are there to help you match the part you're replacing.

The sections below follow the machine from the hydraulics to the electrics, then show how the MEC numbers are written so you can search them quickly.

MEC Parts by Type

Seal kits are the largest block, with 33 listings. 15 of them are for cylinders (5 for lift cylinders), 6 for motors, 3 for valves and 2 for hubs, and the other 7 name no part. Beyond the kits there are 4 hydraulic filters and 3 air filters. The wider seal kits page and the hydraulic pumps, valves and cylinders page hold the same part types from other makes, which helps when you need to compare a kit's cylinder size.

Power and control parts come next: 9 battery chargers, 6 battery cables, 8 controller listings, 3 PCB joystick boards and 3 switches. The rest are the small pieces that keep a lift in service, such as 3 wiring harnesses and 5 decals.

Hydraulic Seal Kits and Cylinders

Seal kits are named after the part they rebuild, which makes the right one easy to spot. You'll see "MEC 92518, SEAL KIT - OUTRIGGER CYLINDER", "MEC 25890149, SEAL KIT - LIFT CYLINDER", "FOR MEC 2586806, SEAL KIT - COUNTERBALANCE VALVE" and "FOR MEC 2585475, SEAL KIT 2-WY VALVE". Others give the cylinder size instead, as in "MEC 2587078, SEAL KIT 2.5 CYL".

Only 3 of the 16 listings that mention a cylinder are whole cylinders: a steer cylinder ("for MEC 2583722, Steer Cylinder Assembly"), a steering cylinder ("For MEC 11179, CYLINDER - STEERING") and a hydraulic brake cylinder. There is also one hydraulic pump assembly ("MEC 90998, Hydraulic Pump Assembly"). For the steering cylinder, the kit and the full cylinder are both listed, so you can choose between a rebuild and a replacement. For pumps from other makes, the hydraulic pumps page is the wider list.

Batteries, Chargers and Motors

Electric lifts depend on the battery path, and this page covers it from cable to charger. Battery cables are listed with the wire spec in the name, such as "MEC 2586208, CABLE - BATTERY UL1283-2 BLK 8". Chargers come in different voltages, including "for MEC 92824, CHARGER HBS 48V DUAL AC B HBS1000-48" and "MEC 8703 CHARGER-SIGNET HB600-24B 24V19A 16 FT HARDWIRE CORD NO PLUG". Voltage appears in 9 of the names, 24V in 5, 36V in 3 and 48V in 1, so match it before anything else.

Complete motors are rare. One listing is a hydraulic motor ("FOR MEC 2586987, MOTOR - HYDRAULIC") and another is a motor assembly for a pump ("MEC 90997, Motor Assembly, For Pump"). On the electric side there is an armature ("MEC 2586804, ELECT - ARMATURE 36V LEESON"). Worn brushes are covered by a holder ("for MEC 2589105, HOLDER - BRUSH 24V DC") and a four-piece set ("for MEC 2587027, BRUSH - MOTOR SET OF 4"). Browse the batteries, chargers and connectors, battery chargers and electric motors and brushes pages to compare other makes.

Joysticks, Controllers and Switches

Operator controls are a smaller, specific group. The 9 listings that mention a joystick include 3 circuit boards ("FOR MEC 2588537, PCB JOYSTICK"), a potentiometer ("for MEC 13527, Potentiometer, For Joystick"), a rocker, 2 controllers and 2 decals, so you can look for the board or the sensor by name. The joysticks and controllers and control cards pages show the same parts across other makes.

Switches are simple but easy to mix up. "for MEC 8638, Toggle Switch, Lift / Drive" and "MEC 5630, Toggle Switch" look similar, yet the first names its function and the second doesn't. A lowering cable for ground controls ("for MEC 25891082, Lowering Cable, For Ground Controls") is another listing that's worth finding by its description.

Steering, Hubs and Brakes

Running gear is a smaller group, but the listings are specific. Five listings name steering: 2 steering cylinders and 3 seal kits for a steering cylinder or valve. Hubs are listed as "MEC 10709, HUB FRONT" and "FOR MEC 10096, HUB CAM BRAKE", and two more hub listings are seal kits. Brake parts are named by what they are, as in "MEC 13585, PLATE - BACK BRAKE". For any of these, the number and the position word (front, back) in the name are the clues to match against your old part.

Engine, Fuel and Filter Parts

A few listings go beyond the battery-powered side. There's a muffler ("FOR MEC 19405, MUFFLER"), a fuel filter ("FOR MEC 25891123, FUEL FILTER"), a fuel filter assembly ("MEC 25891116, FUEL FILTER ASSY") and a dipstick ("For Mec Dipstick 7027235"). Hydraulic filters are named the same way, with "FOR MEC 2586940, FILTER - HYDRAULIC", "FOR MEC 2587329, FILTER - SUCTION STRAINER" and "FOR MEC 2586714, FILTER HEAD" as examples. Because the filter, strainer and head are listed separately, check which of the three you need before you add one to your order.

Finding Your MEC Part Number

Most MEC listings put the number right after the make, usually followed by a comma and the part name: "MEC 13230 ROLLER - PLATFORM" or "FOR MEC 25891756, CABLE CONTROL 3772ES". Numbers come in a few lengths. Four- and five-digit ones such as 8630, 10709 and 92518 are the shorter style, while 2586714 and 25891116 are the longer forms. Type the whole number, and use the search bar at the top of any page.

If you don't know the number, you can also browse by manufacturer, open the MEC group and scan the part names. The kit listings are the quickest to scan, since the name says what the kit rebuilds. Our general aerial lift parts page links out to the other lift makes.

When a MEC Part Isn't Listed

Not every part is on the site. If yours isn't, call (708) 507-0707 or email us with the MEC model and a description of the part, and we can often source it.

MEC Lift Parts FAQ

Are these parts made by MEC?

No. They're aftermarket parts made to fit MEC lifts. The MEC name and number tell you which machine the part was built for.

What does a MEC seal kit include?

The listings name what the kit rebuilds, such as an outrigger cylinder or a counterbalance valve, but they don't list the individual seals. Use the number and the name to match your cylinder.

Can I replace just the joystick board?

There are 3 PCB JOYSTICK listings, plus a potentiometer. Check the joystick number first to see which one matches.

Which voltage do MEC chargers use?

Six of the 9 chargers on this page state a voltage in the title: 24V on 4, 36V on 1 and 48V on 1. The electric condenser and armature listings say 36V, and the brush holder says 24V. Match the voltage to the machine's battery pack.
