Highlights of the Show
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.
For the Mantis Cranes team, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with customers old and new, and to catch up face-to-face with many of the industry’s leading plant and machinery suppliers. We were proud to showcase a selection of our cranes, transport platforms, hoists, and crane accessories and happy to give visitors a hands-on chance to explore our products and speak directly with the team.
Established in the Industry
Now in its second year, ICE Expo has firmly established itself as a defining event for Ireland’s construction sector. The scale, organisation, and energy of the 2026 edition made it clear this is more than just a trade show, and it’s a genuine reflection of where the industry is headed. From sustainability and digital transformation to skills development and new technologies, the conversations happening at ICE Expo are shaping the future of Irish construction.
The event’s seamless delivery ensured a professional and memorable experience for everyone in attendance. Exhibitors and visitors alike left with new contacts, fresh ideas, and real confidence in the strength and momentum of the sector.

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.
Cairndow might be a quiet village nestled at the head of Loch Fyne on the west coast of Scotland, but no location is too remote for the Mantis Cranes team, and we will take our self-erectors wherever the work takes us.
