Abstract
To perform a work with the same operability under a dead weight of a front work equipment in any of a float work and a normal work, when a bucket descends in the air, and after contacting the ground, to perform a work with the operability being maintained as it is when performing the float work, and to perform a work while pressurized hydraulic fluid is supplied from a hydraulic pump when performing the normal work. A lower-ing control during a float working mode is performed in a valve passage state in a first region at which the lowering control is performed under the dead weight of the from work equip-ment without being supplied with hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump, regardless of whether or not the bucket is in contact with the ground, and the lowering control during a normal working mode is performed in a valve passage state at the first region in a non-ground-contacting state and at a second region in which the hydraulic fluid can be supplied from the hydraulic pump in a ground-contacting state.
