Overview Summary

Comparing the Escorts HYDRA 14 and the ACE FX 250 reveals key differences in capacity, power, and operational reach. The HYDRA 14 offers reliable performance in infrastructure with a smaller turning radius, while the FX 250 excels in higher-capacity tasks and more powerful operations.

Escorts HYDRA 14

Pros:
  • 14-ton lifting capacity suitable for a variety of infrastructure environments
  • Equipped with a heavy-duty transmission developed specifically for crane applications with 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds
  • Features articulated power steering with up to 50° articulation for better maneuverability
  • Boasts a compact design with a minimum turning radius of 6750 mm
Cons:
  • Lower engine power of 49.5 HP compared to the ACE FX 250
  • Smaller fuel tank capacity at 38 L, which might require more frequent refueling

ACE FX 250

Pros:
  • Heavier lifting capacity of 25 tonnes for larger projects
  • Higher engine power at 133 HP for potentially more demanding tasks
  • Features a five-part control valve as opposed to the four spool in the Escorts HYDRA 14
  • Larger boom height of 18.3 m, which allows for higher reach
Cons:
  • More expensive, with a price range of ₹ 42 - 48 Lakhs, almost double that of the Escorts HYDRA 14
  • Larger minimum turning radius of 8200 mm, which may not be ideal for tight spaces

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If budget is a concern and the tasks involve smaller infrastructure projects with space constraints, the Escorts HYDRA 14 may be the preferable choice. For larger, more power-intensive projects where budget is less of a constraint, the ACE FX 250 would be a better fit due to its higher capacity and extended boom reach.
