Escorts Hydra 13 vs Escorts TRX 15: Which One to Buy?

Both are hydraulic mobile cranes from Escorts, built for lifting and moving loads on site. The spec tables above give the exact numbers. The Escorts Hydra 13 is smaller and lighter, with a tighter turning radius, so it moves easily in narrow lanes and crowded work yards. The Escorts TRX 15 lifts more weight, reaches higher with its taller boom, and has 4-wheel drive for rough or sloped ground.

If your work is mostly in tight urban sites, market yards or narrow factory lanes, the Hydra 13's smaller size and easy turning help you get in and out fast. If you need to lift heavier loads or reach higher on open or uneven ground, the TRX 15's extra power and 4-wheel drive matter more there. Since both come from the same brand, parts and drivers are equally easy to find for either one. See the full Escorts crane range, browse all hydraulic cranes, or read our crane buying guide.
