Here is a basic outline of the conditions that should be followed when getting your site ready for a Self Erecting Tower Crane.
These are general good practice guidelines. Site specific instructions provided by your crane supplier should be strictly followed.
- Route: The route that the train will travel to the crane base must be sufficiently compacted. Particular attention should be paid to corners, allowing adequate space for the crane to be
maneuvered into the final position. - Level: The finished level of the crane base must be level with the surrounding ground.
- Slopes: Ensure that the level of the base has no slopes that may prevent grounding of the crane.
- In wintry conditions solid check to ensure that subsidence has not occurred since a site survey was completed.
- Adherence: You MUST strictly adhere to the instructions given to you by your crane supplier. Any deviation from the instructions that you have been supplied with MUST be given written approval from your supplier.
There are a number of important other factors to take into account
and, as previously stated, you must completely adhere to the instructions given to you by your crane supplier. For a sample copy of the Mantis Cranes Self Erecting Tower Crane base pack please click here.*

Tower cranes are essential to a broad range of building projects, from healthcare and education through to commercial and residential developments. At Mantis Cranes, our extensive fleet provides lifting solutions for every type of site, whether it's a hospital, nursing home, college, hotel, or office block.
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.
