Abstract
A space surrounded by a partition member () partitioning between an engine () and a heat exchanger (), a top plate (D) of a support frame () constituting the heat exchanger (), and a top plate (A) of an engine cover () is defined as an article accommodating space (). In addition, an article box () where tools necessary for a maintenance operation are stored is accommodated in the article accommodating space (). Thereby even in a hydraulic excavator () of a type having a small swing radius at the rear in which the engine () and a counterweight () are arranged close to each other, by effectively using a top surface side of the heat exchanger (), it is possible to secure the article accommodating space () for accommodating an article such as the article box () in a housing cover ().
