MEC Aerial Work Platforms has entered an entirely new product category with the introduction of its CD-9T diesel carry-deck crane. The new CD-9T allows operators to pick and carry with confidence, with clearer cab visibility, a more spacious and comfortable cab, and smoother positioning control in a full-featured configuration.
The CD-9T's innovative design makes it easier for crane operators to lift safely and precisely throughout the course of their shifts by offering:
"We designed our CD-9T carry-deck crane around what operators told us was holding them back every day," said Gary Crook, vice president of engineering at MEC. "Visibility and cab comfort came up first, and both directly affect safety and productivity. The CD-9T opens up sightlines, gives operators more space to work, and improves service access, while keeping the interface familiar so crews can get productive quickly."
With a gross vehicle weight of 19,800 pounds (8,981 kilograms) and stowed height of 7 foot 10 inches (2.38 metres), the CD-9T's transport width is 6 foot 6 inches (1.98 metres), and its width is 9 foot 10 inches (3 metres) with outriggers deployed. Featuring a 74-hp Deutz turbo diesel engine and foam-filled, non-marking rough-terrain tires, the model has a maximum drive speed of 15 mph (24 km/h). Its four steering modes make it easy to maneuver around congested sites. Additional standard features include an electronic load management system, protected chassis-mounted cameras for a bird's eye view display of the machine and surrounding area, and perimeter laser lighting.
The CD-9T's operator-forward design makes it desirable for rental fleets to stock and customers to choose. The model will be available in Q3 2026 in North America with additional models and configurations to follow.
"The CD-9T fits our DNA," Crook said. "This move into the carry-deck crane category delivers a focus on safety and productivity that has defined MEC for 50 years."
