An intermediate folding component (7) of relatively small length, is articulated (9) at the top of the lower mast component. The upper mast component (8) is articulated at its base (10) on the intermediate component and carries at its top the crane jib (13). The folding/unfolding device comprises a shroud (23) articulated by one end (24) to the rotating chassis and by the other end (25) to the intermediate component. A tie-rod (30) is articulated by one end (31) to the intermediate component and by its other end (21) to a kingpost (19) carried by the jib.
