The upper frame includes a plurality of mount support portions and a leg support portion. The support cradle includes a support stage on which the exhaust-gas after-treatment device is mounted, and a plurality of legs. The plurality of mount support portions include a space-defining mount support portion defining a horizontal space against the hydraulic pump. The plurality of legs include an in-space leg extending in the space. The leg support portion is located to overlap the space in a plan view.

Construction machine including exhaust-gas after-treatment device

Base end portions of a pair of engine support legs are welded to an upper frame in an exhaust duct. The pair of engine support legs extends to a notched portion of the exhaust duct from the base end portions to front end portions thereof. The front end portions project to the outside of the exhaust duct. The pair of engine support legs is connected to each other by a reinforcement plate arranged to close the notched portion of the exhaust duct.
