  • Patent number: 11885105
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive apparatus includes a flow-path selector valve and a flow-path switching control unit that operates the valve. The flow-path selector valve has a first position for a single operation state and a second position for a combined operation state, configured to, at the first position, form a first flow path connected to a first pump, a second flow path connected to a second pump, and a connecting flow path providing communication between the first flow path and the second flow path. When a driving state of a work actuator is deviated from an allowable range in the combined operation state, the flow-path switching control unit reduces an opening area of the connecting flow path as compared with that when the driving state is within the allowable range.
