Escorts HYDRA 13 vs TIL MOBILOAD 315: Which to Buy?

The Escorts HYDRA 13 and the TIL MOBILOAD 315 are both pick-and-carry cranes, but they are built for different kinds of sites. The Escorts HYDRA 13 is the smaller, more nimble machine, and it turns in a tighter space, which suits narrow city streets, building sites and civil maintenance work. The TIL MOBILOAD 315 lifts a bit more weight and reaches higher, which suits ports, stacking yards and bigger industrial sites where there is more room to move.

Escorts has one of the oldest crane-making names in India, so parts and trained drivers for the HYDRA 13 are easy to find in most states. TIL is also a long-standing Indian maker, well known in ports and heavy industry, but its cranes need a more experienced driver because the hoist controls are a bit more involved. If you work in tight city sites, the HYDRA 13 is the easier machine to run daily. If you need higher lift and reach for a bigger yard, the MOBILOAD 315 is built for that.
