ESCORTS F17
Pros
- Higher rated lifting capacity (17 T) for heavy‑duty work.
- Strong 101 HP engine with HPCR technology — smoother performance.
- 4WD enhances traction & site mobility.
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.
