Particulars Escorts HYDRA 14 ACE NX 360 20T
Overview Summary

The ACE NX 360 20T offers higher lifting power and engine performance, suitable for heavy-duty tasks and tight maneuvering in industrial zones. In contrast, the Escorts HYDRA 14 is a more economical, lighter-weight option with a respectable lifting capacity for small-to-medium scale projects.

ACE NX 360 20T

Pros:
  • Higher lifting capacity of 20 Tonnes
  • More powerful engine with 101 HP
  • 4 Wheel Drive for better traction
  • Higher max speed without load (38 km/h)
  • Greater articulation angle at 40°
  • More sophisticated transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds including Hi-low drive selector
Cons:
  • Higher operating weight may lead to more ground pressure
  • Potentially higher price point at ₹ 49 - 51 Lakhs
  • Lack of information regarding fuel and hydraulic tank capacities

Escorts HYDRA 14

Pros:
  • Lower price range at ₹ 21 - 23 Lakhs
  • Adequate lifting capacity of 14 Tonnes for small-to-medium scale operations
  • Smaller minimum turning radius for better maneuverability
  • Lighter operating weight could mean less ground pressure and easier transport
  • Hydraulic pump and filters designed specifically for crane applications
Cons:
  • Less powerful engine at 49.5 HP
  • Only 2 Wheel drive which could limit off-road capabilities
  • Max speed without load is lower (29 km/h)
  • Lower lifting capacity might not be suitable for heavy-duty operations

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If your work demands vigorous lifting and more engine power, or if you require enhanced traction provided by 4WD, the ACE NX 360 20T may be the better choice, despite its higher price range. However, if cost-effectiveness, easier maneuverability, and suitability for less intensive lifting tasks are your priorities, the Escorts HYDRA 14 should serve well.
