A construction machine where a load acting on a vehicle body during an
operation is transferred to ensure the strength of the vehicle body,
thereby improving reliability including welding reliability. In the

upper face or a lower face of the center frame at a joining portion
between the center frame and the connecting member and an upper face or a
lower face of a center joining portion of the connecting member is set
respectively at a dimension that is approximately equal to or less than
