With this construction machine, a lateral load applied to a right rear pillar of a cabin in construction machine rollover or the like is transmitted to a left rear pillar via a load-transmitting beam which is inclined downwardly to the right, and is received by a vertical rib of a center section constituting an upper frame. In addition, a short-column auxiliary pillar is provided in front of the right rear pillar and is connected to the right rear pillar with a connector so as to support the lateral load.
