Particulars Escorts HYDRA 14 Escorts HYDRA 15
Overview Summary

The Escorts HYDRA 15 and HYDRA 14 are both robust cranes designed for heavy machinery placement and infrastructure operations. The HYDRA 15 offers a greater lifting capacity and boom height while the HYDRA 14 is a more cost-effective option with a slightly lower capacity and boom height.

Escorts HYDRA 15

Pros:
  • Higher maximum lifting capacity of 15 Tonnes
  • Larger boom height of 18.9 meters expands operational capability
  • Possibly better suited for larger and more complex lifts, based on capacity and boom height
Cons:
  • Slightly more expensive with prices ranging from ₹ 23 - 25 Lakhs
  • Heavier operating weight, which could affect transport and maneuverability

Escorts HYDRA 14

Pros:
  • Slightly less expensive with prices ranging from ₹ 21 - 23 Lakhs
  • Lower maximum boom height of 15.2 meters may be adequate for many applications
  • Lighter operating weight could mean better fuel economy and easier handling
Cons:
  • Smaller lifting capacity of 14 Tonnes might be a limitation for some tasks
  • Reduced boom height may restrict lifting for higher reach requirements

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

The choice between the two models should be based on specific needs. If higher lifting capacity and longer reach are crucial, the HYDRA 15 may be the better option despite the higher cost. However, if the tasks at hand don't require the absolute maximum capacity and reach, opting for the more economical HYDRA 14 could be a smart financial decision without compromising significantly on performance.
