Last week we placed a Potain HDT80 on an apartment complex project in Northfield.
The HDT80, one of our largest Self Erecting Tower Cranes, is very popular presently due to the ease with which it can be placed on site, the weight it can lift and the reach on offer.
The hire term, lasting roughly 20 weeks, required a jib length of 45m and a maximum lift of 1.25 tonnes at 45 m. Additionally the height under hook required was 34m.
Our two engineers were on site early to carry out safety checks and, once these were satisfactorily completed, put the crane in place and carry out an induction with the specified crane operators for the project.

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.
