Abstract
A fire wall for defining an engine room and a tank chamber is disposed in a body. The fire wall is provided with a tool storage section. Direct conduction of heat from a hydraulic oil tank to the tool storage section is prevented. Even if hydraulic oil stored in the hydraulic oil tank becomes hot, increase in the temperature of the tool storage section is limited. A sufficient space for storage of tools is ensured.
