Every figure is read from the Potain datasheet for that crane. Capacity is the most it lifts close in; the jib-end figure is what it lifts at the tip of its longest jib.

What these terms mean
Flat-top
The jib stays horizontal. Simpler and cheaper to erect where there is room overhead and nothing close by to swing around.
Luffing jib
The jib (the arm) raises and lowers instead of staying flat. That lets the crane work tight city sites and swing its load clear of nearby buildings.
At jib end
What the crane lifts at the very tip of the jib. That is the furthest reach, and the point where it carries the least.
