We currently have a Potain IGO50 Self Erecting Tower Crane on an Apartment Complex project in Notthingham.
This project involves the construction of 18 one bedroom apartments over a three-storey building, along with two 2-bedroom houses. The site is the location of the, now closed, Grove Public House. The development is located on a busy junction. This is part of a scheme to provide more social housing by Gedling Borough Council.
Mantis Cranes placed the Potain IGO on site providing a maximum lift of 1 tonne at 40 metres and a height under hook of 23.2m. This model of Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane was ideal for the project as it can operate on a site with restricted access while maintaining the ability to deliver heavy loads directly to the point of work – without affecting local traffic or reducing site safety.
Self Erecting Tower Crane Advantages
- Increased safety due to less machinery movements on site
- Delivery of the load directly to the point of work
- Quicker installation and dismantling times than other material-handling solutions, resulting in less disruption to other work on site
- Able to operate safely in restricted areas

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.
