https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_luffing_crane
A level-luffing crane is a crane mechanism where the hook remains at the same level whilst luffing; moving the jib up and down, so as to move the hook inwards and outwards relative to the base

Luffing mechanisms have also been applied to the driver's cab being mounted on its own jib, following the movement of the crane's main jib These are used for tasks such as ship unloading , where the view from the driver's cab is greatly improved by cantilevering it forwards and over the ship.
