The Escorts TRX 15 and ACE 18XW are both modern Hydra cranes designed for heavy-duty applications. The TRX 15 offers a balance of power and maneuverability with a faster maximum speed, while the 18XW excels in lifting capacity and steering articulation.
In choosing between the two, the ideal crane would depend on specific requirements of the job. If greater lifting capacity and hydraulic features are paramount, the ACE 18XW may be more suitable. However, for applications requiring higher speed and 4WD capability, the Escorts TRX 15 could be the preferable option.
