ACE NXP 150 vs Escorts Hydra 13: matching the crane to your site

Pick by ground and space, not just tonnage. The ACE NXP 150 lifts a bit more and reaches higher, backed by 4-wheel drive that helps on rough or soft ground. The Escorts Hydra 13 answers with a lighter build and a creep speed setting, which suits jobs that need slow, careful positioning near people or fragile structures.

A crew working open, uneven sites with taller lifts will lean on the ACE NXP 150. A crew placing loads carefully in tight yards will prefer the Escorts Hydra 13. Compare more options in the ACE crane range and Escorts crane range, browse the crane hub, or check the crane buying guide.
