The main antenna is attached to the cab. The sub-antenna is attached to the vehicular body without the cab being interposed.

Earth-moving machine

A measuring jig is attached to an antenna support member of a revolving unit, and used to measure a slewing position of the revolving unit together with an external measurement apparatus. The measuring jig includes a prism mirror and an attachment member. The prism mirror reflects projection light from the external measurement apparatus. The attachment member attaches the prism mirror to the antenna support member. The attachment member is configured to be attached to the antenna support member by sandwiching an attached portion.

Measuring jig and hydraulic excavator calibration method

A boom is attached to a body. A boom pin supports the boom while being swingable with respect to the body. A through-hole is made in the body. The through-hole is made such that a member (for example, the boom pin or a boom angle detector) that recognizes a position of the boom pin can be observed through the through-hole from a side of a hydraulic excavator.
