Mantis Cranes currently have a Tower Crane at Alton Towers Hotel that is due to complete its hire period soon.
The Self Erecting Tower Crane, a Potain IGO50, has been on site since last October. It has provided a maximum lift of 1,000kg at the end of a 40m jib. The Height Under Hook for the duration of the project was 23.2m.
The project involved the construction of a 74-bedroom hotel including reception area, staff room, kitchen, restaurant, toilets, bar, coffee shop, changing rooms, service yard, landscaping, access and associated parking following minor demolition works.
