Abstract
Provided is a construction machine with valves and hoses whose routing operations are simplified. The construction machine includes an upper frame, a control valve assembly, remote control valves, an operation-pattern selector valve, remote control hoses, pilot hoses, and actuator hoses. The upper frame includes a bottom plate and a floor plate, allowing an operation seat to be provided on the upper frame. The control valve assembly and the operation-pattern selector valve are provided in an underfloor space between the bottom plate and the floor plate. A partition wall stands upright on the bottom plate at a rear side of the control valve assembly. The operation-pattern selector valve has a shaft and a handle connected thereto, disposed in such a horizontal posture that the shaft extends horizontally, at a front side of the control valve assembly as viewed from the operation seat.
