    Patent number: 10577228
    Abstract: This automatic unfolding and folding tower crane comprises a mast and a jib which are movable between an operation configuration and a transport configuration. The mast has a first mast section (2.1) and a second mast section (2.2). The jib has a first jib section (4.1) and a second (4.2) jib section. The first jib section (4.1) has an upper limit (4.11) and a lower limit (4.12) defining a height (H4.1) of the first jib section (4.1). The first mast section (2.1) is rotatably connected to the first jib section (4.1) about a hinge axis (Y24). The jib direction (X4) is shifted with respect to the mast direction (Z2) parallel to the hinge axis (Y24). A distance between the hinge axis (Y24) and the lower limit (4.12) is greater than 75% of the height (H4.1) of the first jib section (4.1).
