Abstract

In work machines where an inspection hatch is provided in the cover that encloses the machine body, the effort required to install the inspection hatch is reduced. [Solution] The work machine 10 includes a machine body 11, a traveling device 12 for moving the machine body 11, a steel left-swing cover 32 that constitutes the exterior of the machine body 11, an inspection port 40 including an opening 43 formed in the left-swing cover 32 and a steel lid 51 that covers the opening 43 in an openable and closable manner. The left-swing cover 32 has an outer shell portion 33 that constitutes the outer shell of the left-swing cover 32, a peripheral edge portion 44 formed in a recessed position on the inner side of the machine body 11 from the outer shell portion 33, and a stepped portion 45 that seamlessly connects the outer shell portion 33 and the peripheral edge portion 44. The peripheral edge portion 44 is located around the opening 43, and the lid 51 has a portion that overlaps with the peripheral edge portion 44 when viewed from the direction of penetration of the opening 43.
