Abstract

A crane comprises an undercarriage, an upper carriage arranged on the undercarriage, a rotary connection for rotatably mounting the upper carriage on the undercarriage about an axis of rotation, as well as a support unit attached to the upper carriage for increasing the distance of a tilting edge from the axis of rotation, so that the crane has an increased structural stability and an increased load capacity.
