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.
TEREX FR 17
Pros
- Powerful 101 HP engine for heavy lifting
- Small turning radius (6.77 m) — good maneuverability
- High boom height (~20 m) for construction work
