Man & Material Lift Engineering provides world class engineering to customers world wide. We design and build specialty market manlifts not produced by standard product manufacturers. We create custom man and material lifts to meet all types of requirements.

Prototype manufacturing plays a big part of the companies success due to small production runs. We have a wide variety of different testing, assembly and fabrication in house which ensures that our customers will receive one of a kind products that are made to be used daily, and last a very long time.

Our President, Jeff Bailey has been in the Manlift and Truck Design Industry for over 25 years. He has been involved in the following Standards Committes:

  • NFPA 505 Fire Safety Standards for Industrial Trucks (Current Member)
  • ANSI A92.5 Boom Supported Elevating Work Platforms (Past member)
  • ANSI A92.6 Self Propelled Elevating Work Platforms (Past Member)
  • ISO TC 214 International Standard - Elevating Work Platforms (Past Member)
Jeff has a MS Engineering - Mechanics degree and has worked at Oshkosh Truck, Simon Aerials and Condor Lifts in Design Engineering.

The business was started in 2000 with focus on developing custom manlifts and cranes. When Terex moved the Milwaukee based Simon Aerials to another state, many of the displaced workers with extensive aerial lift experience were hired by MLE and this had a significant impact on MLE's ability to quickly grow and support the existing demand for custom Aerial Work Platforms.
