Particulars Escorts HYDRA 14 ACE 20XW
Overview Summary

The ACE 20XW offers a higher lifting capacity and power, making it well-suited for heavy lifting tasks and urban construction, while the Escorts HYDRA 14 is designed for reliable movement of heavy machinery in infrastructure environments with a well-designed transmission and steering system.

ACE 20XW Hydra Crane

Pros:
  • Higher max lifting capacity of 20 tonnes, suitable for metro projects and urban builds
  • More powerful engine with 74 HP for robust performance
  • Features three-part hydraulically operated boom with faster telescoping time
  • Higher boom height of 22 meters for greater reach
  • Larger fuel and hydraulic tanks for extended operational duration
Cons:
  • Higher operating weight could impact maneuverability and transportability
  • Higher minimum turning radius might be less agile in tight spaces

Escorts HYDRA 14 Hydra Crane

Pros:
  • Agile performance with articulated power steering and up to 50° articulation
  • Equipped with a transmission that is designed specifically for crane operations
  • Included creep speed feature for precise positioning
Cons:
  • Lower max lifting capacity at 14 tonnes which may limit usage in heavy-duty applications
  • Less power in the engine with 49.5 HP
  • Smaller fuel and hydraulic tanks could necessitate more frequent refills
  • Lower maximum boom height of 15.2 meters restricting reach

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If higher lift capacity and reach are essential for your projects, choose the ACE 20XW. But if your work involves navigating tight spaces and you desire more precise control, the Escorts HYDRA 14 may be the more suitable option.
