A mobile crane having a main jib that is mounted thereupon for luffing and that can be oriented by means of a luffing cylinder, and a main jib extension which is detachably connected to a main jib head of the main jib by upper and lower bolts, it being possible to angle the main jib extension about a luffing axis relative to the main jib proceeding from a base position following release of the upper or lower bolts and using an angle drive, the angle drive engaging with a foot of the main jib extension, a maximum angling angle being delimited by an adjustable angling plate, and the angling plate engaging with the foot of the main jib extension and the main jib head. The angle drive is a component of an angling plate in the form of a combi-angling plate.
