Our service team in Northampton last week placed a crane on a Centre Parcs Project at Elveden Forest.
The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane, a Potain HDT80, is one of largest and most popular cranes on our hire fleet due to the ease it can be inserted on site and the efficiency that it provides. This model allows a height under hook of 34.2m at the end of the 45m jib. A maximum lift of 1,250kg is available at the end of the jib.
The Self Erecting Tower Crane will be working on an apartment block for the next few months. The development also includes a 48-bedroom hotel and a 51-bedroom hotel with 99 bedrooms, four three-bedroom water lodges, nine three-bedroom executive lodges, energy centre and the extension of an existing Starbucks cafe to create a pottery workshop.

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.
