The Escorts HYDRA 15 is a 15-tonne crane with a strong lift capability and an efficient diesel engine suited for equipment placement and installations. In contrast, the ACE FX 230 offers a higher lifting capacity at 23 tonnes, with a more powerful engine ideal for heavier industrial tasks. Both cranes are effective in their respective roles with dedicated operational proficiencies.
For tasks requiring up to 15 tonnes lifting capacity, cost efficiency, and the need for a robust yet less powerful engine, the Escorts HYDRA 15 would be a suitable choice. If heavier lifting capabilities and a stronger engine performance are critical for your operations, with budget flexibility, then the ACE FX 230 should be considered despite its higher cost.
