Abstract

A construction machine is provided which includes a hydraulic closed circuit in which a single rod hydraulic cylinder is driven directly by a bidirectionally tiltable variable displacement pump and can stably speed up the contraction action of the single rod hydraulic cylinder. In the case where a contraction action of a hydraulic cylinder 10 is instructed through an operation lever 30, when a differential pressure obtained by subtracting the pressure of a cap chamber 10a from the pressure of a rod chamber 10b is equal to or lower than a first threshold value a set to a level equal to or higher than a selection setting pressure of a flushing valve 14, a controller 20 closes a rod side selector valve 12b to disable rod assist action for supplying hydraulic fluid from a second hydraulic pump 8 to the rod chamber, and when the differential pressure is higher than the first threshold value, the controller 20 opens the rod side selector valve to enable the rod assist action.
