Supporting Healthcare and Education Construction
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.
Self-erecting cranes and tower cranes are frequently used on healthcare and education construction sites. From a large primary care centre, a new school or care home, or a community nursing unit, the crane plays a vital role in the swift and safe delivery of these essential facilities. The fast setup time and small footprint of the self-erector, along with the impressive lifting capacity and reach of the tower cranes in the Mantis Cranes fleet, mean we have a crane suitable for all lifting requirements.
A Busy Week
Our teams have been out in full force recently, delivering safe, efficient, and professional lifting solutions right across the UK & Ireland. The Mantis Cranes Engineers started off the week by dismantling a Potain IGO50 self-erector at a secondary school extension, ensuring the site was cleared safely and on schedule. Mid-week, the team erected a Potain IGO50 at a hospital extension, where minimising disruption in an active healthcare environment was absolutely paramount. They closed out the week by installing a Potain HTD80 self-erecting tower crane at a new national school as part of a landmark project that will serve its community for years to come.
From education to healthcare, these aren’t just buildings; they’re the foundations behind projects that shape our communities.
Experience You Can Rely On
For over 25 years, Mantis Cranes has helped construction projects in the healthcare, education, and care home sectors run smoothly and safely. We understand that erecting and dismantling cranes in these settings takes more than the right equipment. It demands careful planning, clear communication with site teams and contractors, and genuine sensitivity to the people nearby, including patients, pupils, staff, and residents. At Mantis Cranes, we don’t just supply the crane, we remain involved throughout the duration of the crane hire period, from the initial site plan review, detailed site surveys, preparation of crane layout plans, professional installation, and right up to the safe, efficient dismantling once the job is complete.
That experience gained in the healthcare and education sectors over the past 25 years, paired with our extensive fleet, means Mantis Cranes are well placed to deliver the right crane for your hospital, school, or care home development, however complex the site.
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 experience to deliver the best lifting option available.
Mantis Cranes are a leading crane hire company, and supply self-erecting cranes, tower cranes, luffing tower cranes, and construction hoists. We are established throughout the UK and Ireland.

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.
