Abstract
A wheel loader includes a cab, steps provided beside the cab, an engine disposed to the rear of the cab, a vehicle body cover covering the engine, and an air cleaner. The air cleaner has a filter exchangeable by being pulled out horizontally. The air cleaner is connected to the engine via an intake pipe. The air cleaner is disposed to an outside of the vehicle body cover and to the rear of the cab, and is disposed in a slanted manner so that a side from which the filter is pulled out is further away from the cab than an opposite side.
