A reversing rope pulley is provided adjacent to the top end of the telescopic boom. Also, a winch is provided with a rope, which serves to guy the telescopic boom and extends around one rope pulley of the guying yoke to the upper reversing rope pulley and back around the other rope pulley of the guying yoke to a fixed point. The winch and the point to which the rope is fixed are disposed on mutually opposite sides of the telescopic boom adjacent to the pivotal axis of the boom. The guying yoke is restrained by a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit, which is pivoted at one end to the guying yoke above the pivotal axis of the latter and is pivoted at the other end to the base box near the middle thereof between the pivotal axes of the guying yoke and the …
