Abstract

An actuator lock switching valve 50 is provided which communicates a drain line 52 and a pilot line 53 with each other when the valve 50 is in a position C, and which communicates pilot lines 51, 53 with each other when it is shifted to a position D. The pilot line 51 is connected to a delivery line 7 of a hydraulic pump 10, and the pilot line 53 is connected to pressure receiving sections 28a, 28b provided at ends of the pressure compensating valves 21a, 21b on the side acting in the closing direction. The actuator lock switching valve 50 has a pressure receiving section 55 connected to the output side of a pilot lock switching valve 43, and is switched over in interlock with shifting of the switching valve 43. In a hydraulic drive system including pressure compensating valves controlled by an LS system, an actuator can be locked with a simple construction and can be prevented from malfunctioning in an inoperative condition while an engine is being driven, even when the system includes a mechanically shifted directional control valve, or even when a mechanically shifted directional control valve is retrofitted to the system.
