Abstract

An attachment base (15) to which a counterweight (13) is attached is provided at a rear portion of an upper turning body (4), a boss hole (15a) is provided to penetrate through the attachment base (15), and a boss recessed portion (13a) is formed in a front surface of the counterweight (13). A boss member (18) is inserted into the boss recessed portion (13a) of the counterweight (13) via the boss hole (15a) in the attachment base from a front side, and a bolt (21) is caused to be screwed into the boss member (18) through the counterweight (13) from a rear side. An abutment surface (18c) of the boss member (18) is caused to abut a front surface of the attachment base (15) with a fastening force of the bolt (21) to thereby fasten the counterweight (13) to the attachment base (15) and cause the attachment base (15) to support a weight of the counterweight (13) via the boss member (18).
