Abstract
A work machine includes a second pilot line that introduces a hydraulic fluid from a pilot hydraulic fluid source to a pilot valve bypassing a first gate lock valve, a second gate lock valve that is disposed on the second pilot line and that is configured to be switched to an open position for allowing the supply of the hydraulic fluid to the pilot valve or a closed position for interrupting the supply of the hydraulic fluid, and a controller that controls the second gate lock valve on the basis of a second remote operation signal transmitted from a remote operation apparatus and that controls the pilot valve according to a first remote operation signal transmitted from the remote operation apparatus. In a state where the first gate lock valve is at a closed position, the second gate lock valve is allowed to be controlled by the controller when stairs are in a retracted state, and is kept at the closed position irrespective of the second remote operation signal when the stairs are in an extended state.
