Escorts launches next-gen Hydra Pick-n-Carry Crane, new 11-ton compactor, and 3-ton mini compactor
Escorts Construction Equipment (ECE), the construction and material handling equipment manufacturing arm of Escorts Limited, launched three new products: Compactor EC 5511 in 11-ton class, Mini Compactor EC 3664 in 3-ton class, and Next Generation Hydra Pick n Carry Crane (PNC) Hydra NXT 13.
ECE showcased the upgraded version of its existing products, new innovative equipment alongside the products from its global partners Tadano, Doosan and Comansa. Products included Tadano-Escorts Rough Terrain Crane CTI-500XL and Doosan Excavator DX-225 LCB & Rock Breaker alongside the recently launched Hydra 13 Top Jack & TRX 15 SuperLift .
The latest addition to its compactors - the EC 5511 - is designed to give optimum compaction performance with high operational efficiency. Also on display was the most advanced Mini Compactor EC3664 powered with Escorts water cooled engine.
Hydra NXT combines the convenience of a Hydra, safety aspect of TRX range and an attractive price point. It will address customer demand, both corporate and retail, who have been looking for a solution that offers higher stability, manoeuvrability and improved load handling capabilities. Unlike Hydra, Hydra NXT is equipped with a steering wheel, and the boom is specially designed to accommodate multiple attachments such as man basket, crane jib, forks, construction bucket etc.
Said Ajay Mandahr, CEO – ECE, "Augmenting our customer's accessibility to services and genuine spare parts is of utmost importance to Escorts. We strive to expand our reach by attaining 800 touchpoints with authorized service centres across the country by the end of this fiscal. Our USP is value innovation and most competitive operating costs. We have a strong reputation in SAARC countries, Middle East, Latin America and Africa, and export is a key driver of our overall growth strategy. We have plans to expand our Backhoe portfolio globally and are open to contract manufacturing, private labelling and direct export. Escorts has been open to joint ventures and technical collaborations to enter new segments. We are confident that our partnerships with global players will enable us to tap opportunities in new market segments and reinforce our leadership in the construction equipment space."
