Model Comparison
Compare before you request pricing.
Serious buyers want a fast way to confirm which loader belongs in the quote conversation. This section keeps that decision explicit.
| Compare | 10 Ton | 14 Ton | Buying Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity at 8' | 20,000 lbs | 28,000 lbs | Use this first if lift-at-radius is the main buying constraint. |
| Boom length | 21'6" - 25'1" | 23'3" - 25'1" | Both are comparable in reach; the main differentiator is lift and duty level. |
| Installed weight | 9,000 lbs | 9,800 lbs | Account for payload, chassis, and installation constraints early in the quote conversation. |
| Best fit | Versatile truck applications | Heavier-duty industrial work | Choose based on real duty cycle, not just wanting the bigger machine. |
