Our team of engineers were busy erecting a Tower Crane in Kent at the end of January.
A Pedestrian Operated Saez TL55 was placed on an extra care home project in Larkfield, Kent. The City Tower Crane will provide a maximum lift of 1,450kgs, tower
height of 23.6m and a jib length of 50m.
The Mantis team erected the Tower Crane on a fixing angle using a 100 tonne Mobile Crane. It will be powered by a 3Phase Mains for the duration of the, approximately, one-year project.
