In today’s urban construction environment, restricted site access and limited working space present ongoing challenges for contractors and project managers. The solution lies in choosing lifting equipment that combines powerful performance with intelligent design.
When space is at a premium on your construction site, the Potain HUP 40-30 self-erecting tower crane delivers exceptional performance without compromise. This remarkable piece of engineering demonstrates that substantial lifting capacity doesn’t require an extensive footprint.
Engineered for Efficiency
Technical Specifications
- Jib Length: 40m
- Maximum Height: 30m
- Maximum Lift Capacity: 4,000kg
What makes the HUP 40-30 truly outstanding is its ability to fold down into a remarkably streamlined configuration. Despite offering a 30-metre working height and 40-metre reach, this self-erector transforms into a compact unit that simplifies transport and site logistics dramatically.
The crane’s intelligent design means you get impressive reach and lifting capacity while maintaining the flexibility to navigate restricted access sites with ease.
This compact transport profile means easier navigation through urban environments, narrow access routes, and congested construction areas. The result is significant time and cost savings on every installation and dismantle.
Smart Mobilisation in Action
We recently installed the HUP 40-30 on a challenging site that perfectly demonstrated its versatility. Using our agile GAPO crane mover, we guided the crane under a bridge, along a narrow street, and positioned it precisely on site with minimal disruption to surrounding businesses, traffic, and residents.
This demonstrates best practice in construction logistics, utilising advanced equipment in combination with thoughtful planning to deliver efficient, precise, and low-impact solutions.
With an extensive fleet of cranes available for hire, Mantis Cranes can match you with the perfect lifting solution for your specific project needs. Whether it’s a tight urban site or a large-scale development, we have the equipment and expertise to deliver the best lifting option available.

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.
