The MPA20E is the 20 m class electric articulating boom lift in the Hontylift MPA series. The published figures are a 20 m working height, a 250 kg platform load and an 8,550 kg machine weight. The platform height, working radius, stowed dimensions, battery and drive configuration are not published on the current MPA20E page; they are confirmed with the quotation.
The MPA20E sits between the MPA18E and the MPA22E. It is the 20 m step for sites that need more working height than the 18 m model but do not need the 22 m chassis. Because the published data set is shorter than the other MPA pages, this page separates the confirmed numbers from the fields that must be confirmed before the machine is specified.
Why the MPA20E exists
A 20 m work face is a different reach problem from an 18 m face. The MPA20E exists to fill the gap between the 18 m MPA18E and the 22 m MPA22E, with a 250 kg platform load and an 8,550 kg machine weight. The confirmed numbers are enough to start the model selection; they are not enough to confirm the route, the floor or the transport envelope.
The missing fields are not small details. Platform height, working radius and stowed dimensions decide whether the machine reaches the work face and whether it fits the site. Do not infer them from the 18 m or 22 m model. Ask for the MPA20E outline drawing and load chart with the quotation, and check the 8,550 kg weight against the floor and the transport plan.

| Safe working load, platform | 250 kg |
| Machine weight | 8,550 kg |
Work-face planning
A work face at 18 m needs about 20 m of working height, which is the published MPA20E working height. The platform height is not published on the current page; confirm it before you quote the platform floor against the task. Do not assume the 2.0 m difference used by the other MPA models without written confirmation.
The 250 kg platform load includes people, tools and material. The working radius and the load chart are not published on the current page; confirm both with the quotation before planning a reach-limited lift.
Model comparison
The MPA20E is the middle step in the MPA range. The table uses the published numbers and marks the missing MPA20E fields as confirm.
| Model | Working height | Working radius | Platform load | Machine weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MPA18E | 18 m | 10 m | 256 / 350 kg | 8,100 kg | 2.32 m |
| MPA20E | 20 m | Confirm | 250 kg | 8,550 kg | Confirm |
| MPA22E | 22 m | 8.45 m | 250 kg | 9,000 kg | 2.45 m |

Site fit and transport
The only published route number is the 8,550 kg machine weight. The width, stowed length, turning radius and ground clearance are not published on the current MPA20E page. Do not specify the machine against a door, aisle, ramp or transport bed until the outline drawing is confirmed.
The 8,550 kg weight is 450 kg more than the MPA18E and 450 kg less than the MPA22E. Treat it as a floor, axle and transport check. Confirm the tyre specification, the drive configuration and the shipping envelope with the quotation.
Options and accessories
The MPA series options include solid non-marking tyres, anti-extrusion protection, an air supply to the platform, a lithium battery with generator, a lightweight aluminium alloy insulated bucket, and eco-friendly hydraulic oil. Confirm which options are available for the MPA20E and whether the machine is lead-acid or lithium before the order.
Materials and main components
The MPA20E uses the MPA series high-strength steel boom and aluminium alloy platform architecture. The control panel brand, hydraulic package and battery configuration are not published on the current page; confirm the component list against the quotation.
Certifications and standards
EN 280 is the published family standard for the MPA series. The MPA20E certificate scope is not published on the current page. Certification and test documents are supplied for the destination market; confirm the current certificate number, issuer and scope with the quotation before relying on any certification statement on this page.
Factory testing and pre-delivery inspection
Factory testing covers rated-load and overload checks, boom and turntable functions, brakes, emergency stop, emergency descent, hydraulic leaks, electrical safety, battery condition, weld inspection, guardrail and gate operation, and limit-switch function. The test report travels with the machine; confirm the MPA20E test schedule on the quotation.
Delivery, packaging and installation
Lead time is 15–25 working days for a single unit and 25–35 days for container orders. Export packing includes a steel frame, moisture barrier and strapping; a plywood case is available on request. The quotation confirms the Incoterm, port and payment terms.
Before dispatch, confirm the MPA20E stowed dimensions, the 8,550 kg weight and the transport envelope. Do not book the transport from the 18 m or 22 m model dimensions; use the MPA20E outline drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the platform height of the MPA20E?
The platform height is not published on the current MPA20E page. Confirm it with the quotation before you compare it with the work face.
MPA20E vs MPA18E — which one?
Choose the MPA18E when 18 m working height and the published 10 m working radius are enough. Choose the MPA20E when the work face needs 20 m working height; confirm the platform height and outreach before the order.
MPA20E vs MPA22E — which one?
Choose the MPA20E when 20 m working height and 250 kg are enough and the 8,550 kg weight fits the route. Choose the MPA22E when the work face needs 22 m working height and the 4 × 4 drive.
What is the rated load?
