Escorts F15 vs Indo Power 15FNX: which crane suits your site?

Both these cranes lift a similar class of load, so the real difference is in how each one handles the ground under it. The Escorts F15 runs a stronger engine with 4-wheel drive and a wide 10-forward, 2-reverse gearbox, so it copes well with rough or uneven ground and gives the driver more control over speed. The Indo Power 15FNX is the lighter of the two and rolls on larger rear tyres, which helps it move easily and keep good footing on softer or looser ground without sinking in.

Choose the F15 when your sites are rough, hilly, or need real off-road grip along with a wider gear spread for careful control near a lift point. Choose the 15FNX when you value a lighter machine that is simpler to transport between jobs and still holds steady thanks to its bigger rear tyres. See the full Escorts crane range, the Indo Power crane range, all cranes, or the crane buying guide for more help.
