Last week we erected a Self Erecting Crane near Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral for a hire period of approximately four months.
The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane, a Potain T85A, is the largest Self Erecting Tower Crane on the Mantis Cranes hire fleet with a 45m jib. It can provide a maximum lifting capacity of 6,000kg at the tower and up to 1,250kg at the end of the jib. The height under hook at at the tower is 33m and 35m at the end of the jib.

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.
