We currently have a Potain HDT80 in Surrey about to finish up on a construction project.
The Self Erecting Tower Crane has been on site since June 2016 and is due to return to our depot for a redeployment following routine checks that follow every hire project.
The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane provided a Height Under Hook of 34.2m and a maximum lift of 1,650 at the end of the 45m jib throughout 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.
