Overview Summary

The ACE F150 designed for heavy lifting boasts a greater 15 Tonnes capacity and a more powerful engine against the Escorts HYDRA 12, which is more affordable and maneuverable in tight spaces with its better steering articulation.

ACE F150 Hydra Crane

Pros:
  • Higher maximum lifting capacity of 15 Tonnes compared to 12 Tonnes of HYDRA 12.
  • More powerful engine with 74 HP compared to 49.5 HP in HYDRA 12.
  • Capable of 2/4 wheel drive for better maneuverability in varied terrains.
  • Higher maximum speed of 40 km/h without load, enabling faster movement on site.
  • Four-part boom with two hydraulically operated synchronized parts providing greater versatility in operations.
  • Maximum boom height of 21.3 meters, providing higher reach.
Cons:
  • Higher price range from ₹34 - 36 Lakhs compared to ₹18 - 20 Lakhs for HYDRA 12.
  • Heavier machine with an operating weight of 15525 kg, which may require more power for transportation.

Escorts HYDRA 12 Crane

Pros:
  • More affordable with a price range of ₹18 - 20 Lakhs.
  • Lower operating weight of 8850 kg, which can be an advantage in terms of fuel efficiency and transport.
  • Better articulated steering with up to 50° articulation, useful for tight spaces.
  • Smaller minimum turning radius of 6250 mm, ideal for maneuvering in constrained areas.
  • Has a specified fuel tank (45 L) and hydraulic tank (65 L) capacity provided.
Cons:
  • Less maximum lifting capacity of 12 Tonnes which is 3 Tonnes less than ACE F150.
  • Less powerful engine at 49.5 HP compared to ACE F150's 74 HP.
  • Restricted to 2 Wheel drive which might limit movement on challenging terrains.
  • Max speed without load is lower at 29 km/h, resulting in slightly slower on-site transportation.
  • Only two-part boom with less reach compared to ACE F150's four-part boom.

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If your operations require higher lifting capacity and power, and budget is less of a concern, the ACE F150 would be the preferable choice. However, if cost-effectiveness, maneuverability, and compactness are priorities for your worksite conditions, the Escorts HYDRA 12 may be the better option.
