ACE SX 150 vs Escorts F17 73XT: Which Crane Suits Your Site?

Pick the Escorts F17 73XT when you lift heavy loads on rough, uneven or muddy ground, since its four-wheel drive gives it more grip and its taller boom reaches higher. Pick the ACE SX 150 when your work is on flatter yard or factory ground and you do not need the extra lifting height, since it turns in less space and is simple to drive.

Also think about how tall you need to lift. The Escorts boom reaches up to 21 metres extended, useful for loading over tall trucks or structures, while the ACE's shorter boom is enough for most everyday engineering lifts.
