Overview Summary

When comparing the ACE 14XW and Escorts HYDRA 12 cranes, the ACE 14XW offers a higher lifting capacity and longer boom reach, while the Escorts HYDRA 12 has a lighter operating weight and potentially better maneuverability within limited spaces.

ACE 14XW Hydra Crane

Pros:
  • Higher lifting capacity of 14 Tonnes
  • Three-part boom with a maximum boom height of 15.1 m
  • Operates with a 47.5 HP engine at 2200 RPM
  • More robust transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds
Cons:
  • Heavier operating weight of 12000 kg might restrict mobility
  • No specified creep speed for very slow motion control
  • Larger minimum turning radius of 6500 mm

Escorts HYDRA 12 Crane

Pros:
  • Lighter operating weight of 8850 kg for potentially better maneuverability
  • Slightly more engine power with 49.5 HP at 2200 RPM
  • Features a creep speed of 1.9 km/h for precision movements
  • Smaller minimum turning radius of 6250 mm for tighter spaces
Cons:
  • Lower lifting capacity of 12 Tonnes
  • Shorter maximum boom height of 11 m
  • Transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, although it's specialized for crane applications

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

The choice between the two cranes should be based on the specific requirements of the job. If lifting heavier loads and reaching higher elevations are the priority, the ACE 14XW would be suitable. However, for operations within tight spaces and requiring more mobility, the Escorts HYDRA 12 would be a better choice.
