The invention relates to a crane (1) that can be used for both assembling and installing large wind turbines. Furthermore, the crane allows for assembly of large size wind turbines at the installation location. Therefore, the wind turbine does not need to be transported in an assembled and/or upright position, which facilitates transport. A crane according to the invention can be switched between a assembly configuration and an installation configuration. In the assembly configuration, the boom (9) is in a retracted position and the jib (29) is in the hoisting position for hoisting a nacelle on top of a wind turbine mast. In the clearance position the boom is in a hoisting position and the jib is moved backward to enable a mast to be supported by the boom of the crane.
