When comparing the Escorts HYDRA 15 and ACE 18XW, the key differences lie in the lifting capacity, engine power, and operational features. The HYDRA 15 offers a 15-tonne lifting capacity and a slightly taller boom, while the 18XW outperforms in lifting capacity at 18 tonnes and boasts a more powerful engine and larger fuel tank.
The choice between Escorts HYDRA 15 and ACE 18XW should be based on specific project requirements. If the need is for a higher lifting capacity and stronger engine performance, the ACE 18XW is recommended. However, if the operations require a lighter crane with a higher boom height, then the Escorts HYDRA 15 would be more suitable.
