ACE 15XW vs Escorts TRX 15: Which One to Buy?

Both lift about the same weight, so the real choice is between lower cost and better movement on rough ground. Full numbers are in the tables below. The ACE 15XW is the value pick, with enough capability for routine daily lifting at a lower buying and running cost.

The Escorts TRX 15 brings a stronger engine, higher travel speed and four wheel drive, so it crosses loose soil, slopes and half-built roads that stop a two wheel drive crane. Both are 15-tonne class pick and carry cranes. See the ACE crane range, the Escorts crane range, or our crane guide.

ACE 15XW Hydra Crane

Pros:

Engineered for routine operations, suited for infrastructure sites and structural assembly projects
A simpler and possibly more reliable sliding mesh transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds
A higher hoist speed of 50 Meters per Minute may mean faster operations
Comes with Articulated power steering for easy maneuverability
At a lower price point, offers a cost-effective solution for a max lifting capacity of 15 tonnes

Cons:

Less powerful engine (48 BHP) compared to the Escorts TRX 15
2 Wheel drive system may limit off-road capability and traction
Lower maximum speed without load (28 km/h) which may reduce efficiency over larger sites
Less advanced brakes compared to the TRX 15

Escorts TRX 15 Hydra Crane

Pros:

Built for productivity with robust 15-ton lifting capacity, suitable for road works and general industrial movement
More powerful engine (75 HP) that could offer better performance
Equipped with 4 Wheel Drive, potentially providing better traction and off-road capability
Higher maximum speed without load (41 km/h) enabling faster transit across work sites
Synchromesh transmission with 10 forward and 2 reverse speeds offers smooth gear changes
Enhanced safety with air operated, spring actuated fail-safe parking brakes

Cons:

Priced higher than the ACE 15XW, which may be a significant factor for budget-conscious buyers
Creep speed of 1.3 km/h may limit slow speed maneuverability
A turning radius larger (7200 mm) than that of ACE 15XW

Closing Recommendation

Both cranes lift in the same class, so choose by ground condition and by cost. Choose the Escorts TRX 15 when your sites are rough, muddy or sloping, when four wheel drive keeps the crane working where others stop, when the project is large and faster travel means more lifts per day, and when the stronger engine matches heavy site duty. Choose the ACE 15XW when your lifting is routine and on firm ground, when a lower buying and running cost protects your margin, and when the work does not demand four wheel drive. So match the machine to your work: Escorts TRX 15 for rough ground and fast site travel, ACE 15XW for routine lifting at lower cost.
