Abstract

A civil machine having a flow-rate controller which applies a preset signal instead of a normal flow-rate signal to a variable type hydraulic pump when delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump exceeds a preset pressure value. The normal flow-rate signal corresponds to the position of an operating lever. The preset signal has a value of minimum flow rate to hold a working tool in a certain posture. With this control system, pressure loss and temperature rise in hydraulic operating oil as well as fuel consumption of the machine can be reduced and cycle time of the work can be improved.
