Overview Summary

Comparing the Escorts TRX 1550 and ACE Rhino 90C reveals key differences in their capabilities and suitable applications. While the TRX 1550 offers higher lifting capacity and a more comprehensive boom mechanism, the Rhino 90C is more affordable and maneuverable in tighter spaces.

Escorts TRX 1550

Pros:
  • Max. Lifting Capacity of 15 Tonnes suitable for heavy-duty tasks
  • Engine power of 49.5 HP allows for robust performance
  • High articulation angle of 45° for better maneuverability
  • More comprehensive boom telescoping with 4 parts for extended reach
  • Higher boom luffing range at 0 to 58.50° increases flexibility in operation
Cons:
  • Higher price range of ₹ 32 - 34 Lakhs may not be budget-friendly
  • Larger minimum turning radius of 6800 mm could restrict use in tighter spaces
  • Operating weight of 14065 kg is heavier, potentially affecting transport and fuel efficiency

ACE Rhino 90C

Pros:
  • More affordable with a price range of ₹ 12 - 14 Lakhs
  • Compact size beneficial for confined spaces with a min. Turning Radius of 5500 mm
  • Lighter operating weight of 7750 kg for easier transport and possibly better fuel economy
  • Greater articulation at 55° for tighter turn capabilities
  • Faster boom luffing time at 20 seconds for quicker operation
Cons:
  • Lower max. Lifting Capacity of 9 Tonnes, less suited for more substantial lifting operations
  • Slightly less engine power at 47.5 HP may affect performance under full load
  • Lesser max. Boom height of 9 m which might limit reach for high elevations

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

If budget allows and the primary need is lifting heavy loads with a high reach in potentially wide-open spaces, the Escorts TRX 1550 would be more suitable. In contrast, for operations in confined areas with lighter loads and a tighter budget, the ACE Rhino 90C would be a practical and economical choice.
