Overview Summary

The ACE 18XW and ACE 20XW are both reliable mobile cranes from ACE, designed for hefty lifting tasks. The ACE 18XW is slightly more expensive and has a stable and wide base, ideal for a variety of heavy-duty tasks. In contrast, the ACE 20XW offers greater lifting capacity and outreach at a better price point, optimized for urban construction and metro projects.

ACE 18XW Mobile Crane

Pros:
  • Dependable for various applications like infrastructure, industrial zones, and construction.
  • Durable wide-angle articulation (55°) offers better maneuverability.
  • Heavier-duty clutch design can handle tougher operations.
Cons:
  • Less maximum lifting capacity than the ACE 20XW (18 Tonnes vs 20 Tonnes).
  • Slightly narrower boom luffing range than the ACE 20XW.
  • Higher price range than ACE 20XW.

ACE 20XW Hydra Crane

Pros:
  • Increased lifting capacity suitable for metro projects and urban builds (20 Tonnes).
  • Greater boom height (22 m) extends the operational range for lifting.
  • Lower price range than the ACE 18XW model.
Cons:
  • Narrower overall width (2500 mm) might affect stability when compared to the wider ACE 18XW (2900 mm).
  • Increased operating weight (15970 kg) can impact fuel efficiency and may hinder mobility on softer grounds.

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

When choosing between the ACE 18XW and ACE 20XW, consider your specific needs for lifting capacity and operational context. If budget and higher capacity are priorities with an emphasis on urban environments, the ACE 20XW is the right choice. However, if stability due to a wider base and a slightly higher budget are not constraints, the ACE 18XW may serve your needs effectively.
