ACE SB 163
Pros
- Strong 16 tonne capacity suitable for heavy materials handling.
- Lifts up to ~13.1 m with a 9.9 m working radius — useful on construction sites and yards.
- Allows full rotation for flexible load placement without repositioning the truck.
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.
