Overview Summary

Comparing the Escorts TRX 1550 and ACE 12XW, we find that the TRX 1550 offers a larger lifting capacity and a more powerful engine, which makes it suitable for heavy-duty tasks and operations in tight city spaces. On the other hand, the ACE 12XW, with its lower price and lighter weight, is optimized for easier maneuverability within workshops and industrial yards.

Escorts TRX 1550

Pros:
  • Higher maximum lifting capacity of 15 Tonnes
  • Compact frame design suited for tight city areas
  • Enhanced power with its 49.5 HP engine at 2200 RPM
  • More gear options with 8 Forward & 2 Reverse speeds
  • Slightly higher maximum speed without load (29 km/h)
  • Larger fuel and hydraulic tank capacity (90 L each)
Cons:
  • Not specified if alternator is included
  • Higher purchase price range (₹ 32 - 34 Lakhs)
  • Heavier operating weight (14065 kg)

ACE 12XW

  • Cost efficient with a lower price range (₹ 13 - 15 Lakhs)
  • Optimized for workshop and industrial yard movement
  • High hoist speed (50 Mtrs./Min)
  • Lighter operating weight (9250 kg)
  • Higher steering articulation (55°)
Cons:
  • Slightly lower engine power (47.5 HP)
  • Smaller fluid capacities (Fuel: 45 L, Hydraulic: 125 L)
  • Fewer gear options with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds
  • Maximum speed without load is less (28 km/h)

Closing Recommendation

The final recommendation would depend on the specific requirements of the user. If the user's priority is higher lifting capacity and engine power for urban construction or heavy lifts, the Escorts TRX 1550 would be more suitable. However, if cost efficiency, lighter weight, and frequent maneuvering in tighter spaces are the key factors, the ACE 12XW would be a better choice.
