Abstract
In a working machine, a plurality of diagonal members includes a plurality of first diagonal members for connecting a first main member and a second main member with each other, the first diagonal members including a first nearest diagonal member located nearest to a first connector connected to an end of the first main member. A first reinforcement part extends from the first nearest diagonal member to the second main member or a second connector in a first specific direction for connecting the first nearest diagonal member and, the second main member or the second connector connected to an end of the second main member with each other.
Claims15
