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.

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.
