Abstract

A construction machine for conveying thick material has: an electrical energy storage device, an electrical drive device that is electrically connected to the electrical energy storage device, a thick material pump unit and a base frame that has at least three support points spaced apart from one another transversely to a direction of gravity and at which the construction machine is supported relative to a base. In a plan view of the construction machine, a support surface of the construction machine extends between the support points, wherein the electrical energy storage device, the electrical drive device, the thick material pump unit and the base frame are arranged relative to one another in such a way that an overall center of gravity of the construction machine is arranged within the support surface in the plan view of the construction machine and along a longitudinal direction of the construction machine at a distance from a geometric center of gravity of the support surface.
