Overview Summary

In comparing the ACE F150 and the Escorts HYDRA 15, both mobile cranes have a lifting capacity of 15 tonnes but differ in engine power, price, and operational features. The ACE F150 boasts a more powerful engine and a 4-wheel drive option, whereas the Escorts HYDRA 15 is more economical and has a tighter turning radius.

ACE F150

Pros:
  • Strong Volvo Eicher engine with higher horsepower (74 HP) provides better performance
  • Higher maximum speed (40 km/h) without load allows for faster site relocation
  • 10 forward gears allow for a wider range of speed control
  • 2/4 wheel drive option improves maneuverability on different terrains
Cons:
  • More expensive with a price range of ₹ 34 - 36 Lakhs
  • Heavier operating weight (15525 kg) could require more solid ground conditions
  • Larger minimum turning radius (7500 mm) could be less convenient in tight spaces

Escorts HYDRA 15

Pros:
  • More affordable with a price range of ₹ 23 - 25 Lakhs
  • Lighter operating weight (11700 kg) may allow for better usability in various conditions
  • Smaller minimum turning radius (6750 mm) for better agility in confined areas
  • More fuel-efficient with a less powerful engine (49.5 HP)
Cons:
  • Less powerful engine which may impact performance in demanding tasks
  • Maximum speed without load (29 km/h) is less compared to ACE F150
  • Does not offer a 4 wheel drive option which might reduce off-road capability
  • 8 forward gears limit the range of speed control in comparison

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If you prioritize performance and have a higher budget, the ACE F150 might be the more suitable option, offering higher engine power and versatility with its 4-wheel drive. However, if cost-effectiveness and maneuverability in tight spaces are more important, and you are okay with a less powerful engine, the Escorts HYDRA 15 would be the recommended choice.
