Overview Summary

The Escorts F17 boasts a greater lifting capacity and higher engine power, making it suitable for more demanding tasks. On the other hand, the Escorts HYDRA 13 is a more economic option with a lower initial cost and better suitability for tasks requiring greater maneuverability and operations in smaller areas.

Escorts F17

Pros:
  • Higher maximum lifting capacity of 17 tonnes
  • More powerful engine with 101 HP output
  • Creep speed optimized for precise maneuvering at 1.3 km/h
  • 4-wheel drive capability for better traction and control
  • Larger boom height reach of 21.0 m
  • Features a synchromesh transmission with a greater number of speeds (10 forward and 2 reverse)
  • Twin hydraulic double acting rams in steering for robust control
  • Provided with dual circuit brakes on both front and rear wheels
Cons:
  • Higher cost between ₹ 33 - 35 Lakhs
  • Potentially heavier with an operating weight of 16020 kg, which may affect transportability
  • Higher engine power could lead to increased fuel consumption

Escorts HYDRA 13

Pros:
  • Less expensive with a price range of ₹ 21 - 23 Lakhs
  • Lower engine power may lead to better fuel efficiency
  • Enhanced maneuverability with articulation up to 50°
  • Less operating weight of 11000 kg, possibly easier to transport
  • Smaller footprint and tighter turning radius may benefit operations in confined spaces
Cons:
  • Lower maximum lifting capacity of 13 tonnes
  • Less powerful engine at 48 HP
  • Only 2-wheel drive, which might limit off-road capability
  • Shorter boom height of 12.8 m

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If your operation requires heavy lifting and frequent use of the higher power and drive capabilities, the Escorts F17 would be an appropriate choice. However, for budget-conscious operations that require agility and efficiency, the Escorts HYDRA 13 may be more fitting.
