Our Crane Service Team were kept busy the north last week, erecting a Potain IGO50 in the Scottish Highlands.
The Self Erecting Tower Crane was moved from the truck to site using an excavator. This was necessary as the track to the construction site was a stone track with several steep and narrow bends.
The hire period, which will last for a minimum of 20 weeks, included the provision of a power generator from Mantis Cranes. This Potain IGO50 Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane has a 28m jib and can provide a maximum lift of 2,300kg close to the tower. It will provide a height under hook of 23.2m for the duration of the crane hire project.

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.
