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.
ACE LC 85
Pros
- 6 ton lifting load suits residential & mid-rise building sites.
- 40 m jib and ~92 m max height enables reach for multi-storey constructions
- ACE has extensive dealer network and established after-sales support.
