Particulars ACE 15XWE Escorts HYDRA 12
Overview Summary

The ACE 15XWE and Escorts HYDRA 12 are both 2WD hydraulic cranes designed for lifting operations in industrial and construction settings. While the ACE 15XWE offers a higher lifting capacity and longer reach, the Escorts HYDRA 12 features better maneuverability and a lighter frame.

ACE 15XWE

Pros:
  • Higher max lifting capacity of 15 tonnes compared to Escorts HYDRA 12.
  • Equipped with a three-part telescoping boom for greater reach with max boom height of 17.7 m.
  • Features a diaphragm type pressure plate for the clutch, potentially offering greater durability.
Cons:
  • Heavy operating weight at 11600 kg may not be suitable for all terrain or space-constrained sites.
  • Slightly lower max power output of 48 BHP compared to Escorts HYDRA 12's 49.5 HP.
  • Lacks articulated steering which may impact maneuverability in tight spaces.

Escorts HYDRA 12

Pros:
  • Articulated steering with up to 50° articulation allows better maneuverability.
  • Lower price range as well as a lighter operating weight of 8850 kg, making it easier to transport.
  • Higher engine power output of 49.5 HP which can provide better operation efficiency.
Cons:
  • Lower maximum lifting capacity of 12 tonnes, which may limit its usage in heavier lifting operations.
  • Shorter max boom height of 11 m, reducing its reach compared to ACE 15XWE.
  • Smaller hydraulic tank capacity at 65 L which may require more frequent refilling depending on usage.

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

Your choice between the ACE 15XWE and Escorts HYDRA 12 should be based on specific needs. If lifting heavier loads and reaching higher elevations are critical, the ACE 15XWE is the superior choice. However, for tighter spaces and more frequent maneuvering, the Escorts HYDRA 12's articulated steering and lighter weight would be more advantageous.
