Mantis Cranes recently erected a City Tower Crane on an Office Project at The Harcourt Centre in Dublin.
We provided an FM Gru 10-35 City Tower Crane as it was the Tower Crane which best suited the area available to erect and the point loadings that could be imposed upon the footpath. Additionally the crane provided a 1 tonne lift at 35m (2.5t at 16m).
Having been installed over a couple of days, the crane will be on site for an approximate hire period of six months.
City Tower Crane in Dublin Project Details
This model has been extensively used on restricted space projects on city centre sites across Ireland and The United Kingdom.
The Project involves adding extra floor space on the fourth level and an additional fifth level (sixth storey) to the existing structure on Harcourt Street; close the Dublin’s City Centre. The project includes relocating the existing plant, along with a new plant, on the roof level of the, soon to be, six-storey building.
The new development will increase the overall floorspace in the office block by almost 500 sq.m.

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.
