At Mantis Cranes, we know that the right lifting attachment can make all the difference on a busy construction site. Choosing the right crane attachment for your specific lifting job not only increases efficiency but also ensures every lift is carried out safely.
We stock an extensive range of crane attachments and site lifting equipment, available for both hire and sale, ensuring every customer can get the maximum performance from their crane. Our crane accessories are designed for use with self-erecting tower cranes, tower cranes, and luffing jib tower cranes. Whether you’re managing a large commercial build or a smaller residential project, our attachments are designed to help you lift more and move more, with confidence.
Crane Accessories
Fork Toes
Fork Toes are one of our most in-demand attachments, purpose-built for lifting brick packs and pallets on site. Featuring fully adjustable forks, they offer the flexibility needed to handle a variety of load sizes quickly and safely. A spring-loaded lifting eye automatically adjusts to compensate for different load weights, keeping lifts balanced and controlled at all times. Fork Toes also come fitted with a frame that allows for the easy attachment of a safety net, adding an extra layer of protection. Constructed from robust, high-quality steel, they’re built to withstand the demands of a construction environment.
Block Grabs
Our Block Grabs are specifically designed for lifting bricks, blocks, kerbstones, and paving slabs. Like our Fork Toes, Block Grabs feature adjustable forks and a spring-loaded lifting eye that automatically compensates for varying load weights. This clever mechanism ensures the block grab remains perfectly level whether it’s carrying a full load or returning empty, reducing the risk of shifting or imbalance during a lift.
Boat/Tipping Skips
Boat skips are designed to move materials & waste safely and efficiently around the site. Ideal for general waste removal, their low loading height and drop-down bale arm make filling quick and straightforward. Built to a high standard, they also feature an innovative automatic release system, allowing the crane operator to unload without manual intervention.
Concrete Skips
On sites where concrete needs to be moved and poured with accuracy, our heavy-duty Concrete Skips are an essential attachment. Available in two options, standing & lay down, across a selection of capacities, they’re built to handle the demands of on-site concrete work with ease.
Steel Mortar Tubs
Our Steel Mortar Tubs strike the ideal balance between ease of handling and robust durability, making them well-suited to heavy industrial use on even the busiest construction sites.
Crane Fork Cage
Designed to be used in conjunction with Fork Toes, our Crane Fork Safety Cages make moving bricks and blocks on safer and more straightforward. Built for easy loading and secure lifting, they’re a practical addition to any site operation.

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.
