Last week we erected a Saez TL55 City Tower Crane on a construction project in Ormskirk, bringing the number of Mantis Tower Cranes in Ormskirk to two.
Earlier in February we had erected a Potain IGO50 Self Erecting Tower Crane on the same construction project. The two Pedestrian Operated Tower Cranes will work side-by-side for approximately the next four months.
The project is the development of student accommodation at Edge Hill University. It comprises 168 bedroom with landscape and access works.
The Saez TL55 Tower Crane has a jib length of 55m. Depending on the configuration, it can provide a maximum lift at the jib end of 1,050kg – and 5,000kg at 15.8m-20.2m depending on the Tower Height. The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane our team placed on site has a Tower height of 31.6m.
The Potain IGO50 Self Erecting Crane was placed on site the week previously. It can work in close proximity to the Saez Tower Crane as it has a lower tower height, providing a height under hook of 23.2m at the end of a 28m jib. It will meet the specified requirement of a maximum capacity of 2,000kg. On different configuration this crane can provide a maximum capacity of 4,000kg.

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.
