Escorts HYDRA 13 vs Indo Power 15FNT: Which One to Buy?

Both these are pick-and-carry hydra cranes for lifting and moving material on site. The Escorts HYDRA 13 turns in a tighter radius and is simple to move around in a cramped yard. The Indo Power 15FNT has a more powerful engine, reaches higher with its boom, and runs on 4-wheel drive for better grip.

If your site is tight and most of your lifts stay close to the ground, the Escorts HYDRA 13 is the easier machine to work with. If you need to lift higher or work on uneven ground, the extra power and reach of the Indo Power 15FNT are worth the larger turning radius.
