ACE 18XW
Pros
- High lifting capacity: 18 tonnes is competitive for pick-and-carry cranes in its segment.
- Engine output: ~74 HP provides adequate power for lifting and travel.
- Safety features: Fail-safe brakes, audio overload & hoist protection available
ESCORTS RT 20
Pros
- High lifting capacity: 22 t @ 3 m is strong for a rough‑terrain crane in this class (good for construction and infrastructure).
- Long reach: Up ~21.2 m boom provides good lifting height and reach
- Rough terrain mobility: 4×4 drive + multiple steering modes (2WD, 4WD, crab, etc.) helps manoeuvre in tough ground conditions.
