Last week we erected a Tower Crane in Surrey on the construction of a large retail outlet in Ashstead.
The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane will be on site for approximately six months. It will provide a maximum lift of 1.2 tonnes at the end of a 35m jib. This is one of the most popular Tower Cranes on the Mantis Cranes Hire Fleet.
The project involves the construction of a large retail store with nine two-bedroom flats and associated parking and services.

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.
