Last month we placed a Self Erecting Tower Crane in Carrickfergus on a residential construction development.
The development consists of 14 residential apartments arranged within two apartment blocks. Also in the project are provisions for parking and ancillary spaces included in the overall scheme. The estimated cost for the project is just below €2m.

The Pedestrian Operated Tower Crane that we provided is a Mantis 35.10, our flagship Self Erecting Crane that was manufactured at our plant in Co. Donegal. This crane is configured with a 21.7m jib that can provide a maximum lift of 1,000kg at the end of that jib. The maximum capacity is 4,000kg from the Tower out as far as 13m on the jib.

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.
