Last month saw Mantis cranes insert a Potain IGO50 Self Erecting Tower Crane on a retirement apartments project at Haywards Heath in Sussex.
The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane for the project needed to provide a height under hook of 23.3m, with a maximum lift of 1000kg at 40m.
As our client had the correct ground conditions in place for the crane to be operated our service team were able to have the crane on site in a short period of time. using a telehandler, the crane was put in place and folded out, in line with our safety procedures and standards.
The project is a new build and typical of the type of project that an Self Erecting Tower Crane is ideal for. The smaller footprint that the crane occupies, fewer site movements also results in lowers costs and increased safety.

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.
