Overview Summary

Comparing the ACE FX 300 with the Escorts HYDRA 12 highlights the former's strength in heavy lifting and power, while the latter is more suited for operations in tight spaces and offers a more economical option.

ACE FX 300

Pros:
  • Higher lifting capacity of 30 Tonnes useful for heavy industrial components
  • Robust lifting with 6 falls of hoist and higher hoist speed for efficiency
  • Equipped with a powerful Ashok Leyland engine with 130 HP output
  • Heavy-duty transmission with a wide range of 12 forward and 2 reverse speeds
  • Capability to handle rugged terrain with heavy-duty leaf springs and a rigid front axle
Cons:
  • Higher operating weight could limit access to certain sites
  • More expensive with a price range of ₹ 50 - 22 Lakhs which might be prohibitive for some budgets
  • Maximum speed of 35 km/h may be considered slow for some operations
  • Larger turning radius that could be a hindrance in tight spaces

Escorts HYDRA 12

Pros:
  • More affordable with a price range of ₹ 18 - 20 Lakhs
  • Optimized for tighter spaces with greater articulation of up to 50° and smaller turning radius
  • Lighter operating weight could provide better maneuverability and access to various sites
  • Pneumatic assisted hydraulic and disc brakes for reliable stopping power
Cons:
  • Lower lifting capacity of 12 Tonnes might be inadequate for larger projects
  • Less engine power with 49.5 HP might impact the lifting operation's speed and performance
  • Only 2-part boom compared to ACE's three-part slotted boom

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

Your decision should be guided by the specific needs of your operation. If heavier lifting and more power are critical, the ACE FX 300 is an apt choice. However, if budget constraints and spatial limitations are significant considerations, the Escorts HYDRA 12 might be the better fit for your requirements.
