Abstract
A hydraulic excavator is equipped with: an arm cylinder driven by a hydraulic working fluid from a hydraulic pump; a meter-out passage through which the hydraulic working fluid discharged from the arm cylinder flows; a control valve controlling the hydraulic fluid flow rate of the meter-out passage; a pressure sensor detecting a load acting on the arm cylinder; a pressure sensor detecting an operation amount of an operation device operating the arm cylinder; and a controller. The controller alternatively selects a normal operation mode in which the opening area of the control valve is controlled based on an actuator load and the operation amount, and a substitution operation mode in which the opening area of the control valve is controlled based on the operation amount. When the substitution operation mode is selected, a delivery flow rate of the hydraulic pump is further increased as compared with the normal operation mode.
