Particulars Escorts HYDRA 12 ACE NXP 150
Overview Summary

The Escorts HYDRA 12 is suited for operations in construction and industrial spaces with its articulated mobility and sufficient lifting capacity, while the ACE NXP 150 offers higher lifting strength combined with aerial access capability. The choice between these models may be influenced by specific job requirements and budget constraints.

Escorts HYDRA 12

Pros:
  • Can lift up to 12 Tonnes which is efficient for construction zones and industrial yards.
  • Articulated power steering allowing for sharp turns with a minimum turning radius of 6250 mm.
  • 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds providing good maneuverability.
  • Equipped with a hydraulic winch with a 10 Tonnes capacity.
Cons:
  • 2 Wheel drive, which may not provide as much traction and stability as a 4 Wheel drive system in rough terrains.
  • Lower maximum boom height of 11 m compared to the competitor.
  • Smaller front and rear tyres which could impact terrain navigability.

ACE NXP 150

Pros:
  • Higher lifting capacity of 15 Tonnes suited for heavy-duty applications.
  • Provides aerial access with a maximum boom height of 21.0 m, which is significant for high-reach maintenance and installation tasks.
  • 4 Wheel Drive, ensuring better traction and stability on challenging terrains.
  • Equipped with a high line speed winch at 50 Mtrs./Min, efficient for faster lifting operations.
Cons:
  • More expensive with a price range of ₹ 41 - 43 Lakhs, which might be a deciding factor for budget-conscious customers.
  • Higher operating weight of 15310 kg could make transportation more challenging compared to a lighter model.
  • Less articulated with a 40° angle, which may limit maneuverability in tight spaces.

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If the requirement includes high-reach work and heavier lifting complemented by the benefits of a 4WD system, the ACE NXP 150 might be the better option. For users prioritizing cost-efficiency and good maneuverability in tighter spaces while handling moderate loads, the Escorts HYDRA 12 would be a suitable choice.
