Overview Summary

When comparing the ACE 16XW and Escorts HYDRA 12 cranes, the former offers a greater lifting capacity and reach, making it suitable for heavier tasks and environments where reach is critical. The Escorts HYDRA 12, while less expensive, offers better maneuverability and a lower operating weight, fitting for different operational needs.

ACE 16XW Mobile Crane

Pros:
  • Higher maximum lifting capacity of 16 tonnes, suitable for heavier loads
  • Three-part telescoping boom with 20 meters height which offers a better reach
  • Slightly higher operating weight for stability at 14230 kg
  • Larger fuel and hydraulic tanks (50 L and 140 L respectively) for longer operation duration
Cons:
  • More expensive with a price ranging between ₹ 22 - 24 Lakhs
  • Wider turning radius of 6500 mm, which may affect maneuverability in tight spaces

Escorts HYDRA 12 Crane

Pros:
  • Less expensive with a price ranging between ₹ 18 - 20 Lakhs
  • Smaller turning radius of 6250 mm for better maneuverability in confined spaces
  • Has a creep speed of 1.9 km/h for precise positioning
  • Lighter operating weight of 8850 kg which may be beneficial for certain conditions or transport
Cons:
  • Lower maximum lifting capacity of 12 tonnes which might limit lifting heavy loads
  • Shorter boom length with a maximum boom height of 11 meters, limiting its reach compared to the ACE 16XW
  • Smaller hydraulic tank capacity (65 L) that may require more frequent refills

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If your priority is lifting heavier loads and you require greater reach for tasks such as in steel plants or fabrication settings, the ACE 16XW would be a suitable choice despite its higher cost. On the other hand, if budget constraints are significant and operations are mainly in compact spaces, or precise movements are necessary, the Escorts HYDRA 12 presents itself as a cost-effective and maneuverable option.
