Mantis Cranes recently completed the insertion of our second new Potain IGO T85A on a hotel project in Derby.
The IGO T85A being erected on site.
Our engineers inserted the Self Erecting Tower Crane (SETC) on site for the steel and timber frame construction in mid-March. The crane will be in place for 11 weeks.
The pedestrian controlled IGO T85A was ideal for the project as it can achieve the client’s requirement for a maximum lift of 1.25 tonnes at 45m and a height under hook of 35m. An onsite induction was completed with the designated crane operator, allowing work to commence on the project in a short space of time. Click here for more information on the IGO T 85A.

A tower crane rising above a site tends to draw every eye, but the real story starts long before it arrives on site. It's this quiet groundwork that sets the stage for everything that follows.
Tower cranes are one of the most efficient lifting solutions available on construction sites, offering exceptional height, reach, and lifting capacity that few other machines can match. Unlike mobile cranes, they occupy a small footprint while still serving the entire site, making them ideal for congested urban locations.
Mantis Cranes had two brilliant days at ICE Expo 2026, and what an event it was. Held at Punchestown Racecourse, Ireland's biggest construction and plant machinery expo delivered on every front with record attendance, a buzzing atmosphere, and an incredible line-up of live machinery demonstrations and industry innovation all in the one space.
