Overview Summary

The Escorts HYDRA 13 and HYDRA 14 are two cranes from Escorts Kubota that are primarily distinguished by their maximum lifting capacities and engine power. The HYDRA 13 offers a 13-ton capacity while the HYDRA 14 provides a slightly higher 14-ton capacity, along with a more powerful engine and a higher boom height for reaching greater elevations.

Escorts HYDRA 13

Pros:
  • 13-ton lifting capacity suitable for civil maintenance and plant site material repositioning.
  • Equipped with a Simpson S 433(I)-CEV BS engine providing 48 HP at 2200 RPM.
  • 2-wheel drive with 8 forward and 2 reverse speed heavy-duty transmission.
  • Articulated power steering with up to 50° articulation and a minimum turning radius of 6750 mm for maneuverability.
  • Hydraulic winch with 4 falls and 13 mm rope diameter for efficient hoisting.
Cons:
  • Lower maximum lifting capacity compared to HYDRA 14.
  • Engine power slightly less than HYDRA 14.
  • Smaller front track width of 1930 mm which may affect stability.

Escorts HYDRA 14

Pros:
  • 14-ton lifting capacity designed for robust performance in infrastructure environments.
  • Higher engine power with an Escorts AE 4.312C-3A engine providing 49.5 HP at 2200 RPM.
  • Features a 6 falls winch capacity of 12T for heavy lifting.
  • Longer boom height of 15.2 m for reaching higher elevations.
  • Wider front track of 1980 mm for potentially better stability.
Cons:
  • Slightly higher operating weight of 11200 kg could impact fuel efficiency.
  • Lower fuel tank capacity of 38 L as opposed to 45 L in HYDRA 13.

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If the tasks require greater lifting strength and the capacity to reach higher elevations, the Escorts HYDRA 14 would be the recommended choice. However, for operations that need to meet standard lifting needs with slightly less engine power, the Escorts HYDRA 13 is a cost-effective option that still offers a good balance of features for civil maintenance and plant site work.
