An upper frame for construction equipment mounted to swing on a lower driving structure is provided, in which fixing pins for supporting a boom and a boom cylinder are coupled to left and right side plates that are welded on a base plate to face each other, and a plate-shaped joint connection plate is welded on the left and right side plates and the base plate, so as to support the left and right side plates by exhibiting the rigidity and flexibility against load being transferred to the fixing pins through a working device during working. The upper frame includes a base plate on which a driving means for swing the upper frame is mounted, left and right side plates vertically welded on the base plate to face each other and composed of inner and outer vertical plates to which a boom and a boom cylinder are rotatably fixed by fixing pins, respectively, and a joint connection plate having both sides welded on inner sides of the inner vertical plates and a lower end part welded on the base plate and supporting the left and right side plates by exhibiting rigidity and flexibility when reaction load from the boom is generated on the fixing pins due to load generated on the working device during working.
