Abstract
The crane comprises a mast ( ), mounted on a chassis ( ), and a distributor jib ( ) composed of successive elements ( ) articulated on one another about horizontal axes ( ), the first jib element ( ) being articulated about a horizontal axis ( ) on the top of the mast ( ). The first jib element ( ) and, if appropriate, the following element ( ) can be brought into a substantially vertical position in alignment with the erected mast ( ), so as to increase the height of the mast. All the jib elements ( ) comprise a rolling track ( ) for a carriage ( ), and these elements can be used in various positions (B, F). A crane with modifiable configuration is thus obtained.
