Abstract: A work machine comprising a main body and a cab riser. The cab riser includes a cab and a frame comprising a first plate to contact a second plate provided on the main body in a first position which the cab is uprightly positioned on the work machine. The first and the second plate are coupled together to sandwich a key plate in the first position, the key plate being disposed in a space created by a first recess on a lower surface of the first plate and a second recess on an upper surface of the second plate, the second recess being aligned with the first recess vertically in the first position, and the key plate includes a first contact surface as a slope surface and a top surface being adjacent to the slope surface in the cross sectional view of the key plate.

Abstract: To provide a frame of construction machines that can enhance the rigidity of support members. The frame comprises a bottom plate, a pair of vertical plates being disposed spacedly in a width direction on a top surface of the bottom plate and extending longitudinally and vertically, and multiple support members extending toward outside in a width direction from breadthwise outer surface of the pair of vertical plates. At least one of the multiple support members comprises a vertical wall perpendicular to the bottom plate. A breadthwise inner end part of vertical wall is welded on breadthwise outer surface of one of pair of vertical plates. A lower end of the pair of vertical plates is welded intermittently on a top surface of the bottom plate, and there exists a non-welded part where the lower end of the vertical plates is not welded on the top surface of the bottom plate under breadthwise inner end part of the vertical wall.

Abstract: Problem to Be Solved: To provide a frame of a construction machine that can prevent a crack caused by a torsion load. Solution: The frame comprises the center member including the bottom plate and a pair of left and right vertical plates disposed on a top surface of the bottom plate, a pair of left and right skirt members horizontally disposed on both left and right sides of the center member, and a plurality of beam members disposed between the center member and right skirt member and between the center member and left skirt member, respectively. The plurality of beam members include the plate beam member disposed in a perpendicularly erected manner against the bottom plate.

Abstract: To improve the precision of position of a fastener hole and a seating face for mounting a counterweight, a counterweight supporting member is comprised of a support plate erected and fixed at the rear end of a revolving frame and a supporting member attached to the support plate. A cylindrical bolt fastening boss is provided on the supporting member in a manner of rotational position adjustable to the supporting plate and in which a fastener hole is formed at an eccentric position.

Abstract: The present invention aims to improve the strength of the portion of the swing frame for attaching the swing motor apparatus while reducing cost. A bottom plate of a swing frame is divided into a center bottom plate segment to which the swing motor apparatus mounting portion is attached, a front bottom plate segment that is positioned to the front side of the center bottom plate segment and to which the center joint mounting portion is attached, and a rear bottom plate segment positioned to the rear side of the center bottom plate segment, wherein: the center, front, and rear bottom plate segments and are formed integrally by welding; and the plate thickness of the center bottom plate segment is thicker than the plate thickness of the front bottom plate segment and the rear bottom plate segment.

Abstract: To improve the precision of position of a fastener hole and a seating face for mounting a counterweight, a counterweight supporting member is comprised of a support plate erected and fixed at the rear end of a revolving frame and a supporting member attached to the support plate. The supporting member is comprised of a base member that is locked and secured to a through hole opened on the support plate in a back and forth adjustable manner and has a counterweight fixing surface and a bolt fastening member in which a fastener hole for receiving a fastener bolt is formed.
