A hoisting crane, comprising: - a crane structure comprising a jib, which jib preferably is pivotable supported such that it can be pivoted about a substantially horizontal axis; - a slew platform, which slew platform supports the crane structure; - a base, which base supports the slew platform; - a slew bearing, which slew bearing is provided between the base and the slew platform to transmit weight loads, tilting loads and radial loads between the slew platform and the base, and which slew bearing has a rotational axis that extends in an substantially vertical direction and allows the slew platform, and thus the crane structure comprising the jib, to be rotated relative to the base about that rotational axis; wherein the slew bearing comprises: = a top bearing ring, which top bearing ring is secured to the slew platform; = a bottom bearing ring, concentric with said top bearing ring, which bottom bearing ring is secured to the base; = a first row of axial load rollers and a second row of axial load rollers, which rows of axial load rollers (11,12) are each provided between a corresponding top roller raceway (13,14) and bottom roller raceway (15,16), which top and bottom roller raceways are each connected to one of the bearing rings, so as to enable rotation of the top bearing ring relative to the bottom bearing ring; characterized in that the top bearing ring has a top wall, which top wall extends above the first row of axial load rollers and in which top wall at least one top entry port is provided to allow access, from above, to the first row of axial load rollers, the top roller raceway of the first row of axial load rollers comprises a removable raceway segment releasable attached in the top entry port, which removable roller raceway segment can be removed from said top entry port to enable access via said top entry port to the first row of axial load rollers, and the top entry port and the removable raceway segment are dimensioned such that, when the removable roller raceway segment has been removed, via the top entry port axial load rollers can be removed in a substantially vertical direction from the first row of axial load rollers. - a crane structure comprising a jib, which jib preferably is pivotable supported such that it can be pivoted about a substantially horizontal axis; - a slew platform, which slew platform supports the crane structure; - a base, which base supports the slew platform; - a slew bearing, which slew bearing is provided between the base and the slew platform to transmit weight loads, tilting loads and radial loads between the slew platform and the base, and which slew bearing has a rotational axis that extends in an substantially vertical direction and allows the slew platform, and thus the crane structure comprising the jib, to be rotated relative to the base about that rotational axis; = a top bearing ring, which top bearing ring is secured to the slew platform; = a bottom bearing ring, concentric with said top bearing ring, which bottom bearing ring is secured to the base; = a first row of axial load rollers and a second row of axial load rollers, which rows of axial load rollers (11,12) are each provided between a corresponding top roller raceway (13,14) and bottom roller raceway (15,16), which top and bottom roller raceways are each connected to one of the bearing rings, so as to enable rotation of the top bearing ring relative to the bottom bearing ring; characterized in that
