  The extended leveling plate rotating device 40 configured as described above has an extended leveling plate left 30L as shown in FIGS. 5, 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B. When the forward / reverse rotation motor 43 is driven in a state in which is folded on the second leveling plate left 29L, the interlocking arm 53 rotates in the clockwise direction (arrow A direction), and the direction of the interlocking arm 53 is extended. The direction of the body 20 is changed from the direction extending inward in the left-right direction to the direction extending outward in the left-right direction, and the extended leveling plate left 30L is set in the unfolded state (see FIGS. 7A and 7B).

  Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the interlocking arm 53 is in a state of extending outward from the left and right end portions of the left working body 20L. In order to move the substitute work machine 1 to another position in this state, the traveling machine body 90 moves forward or travels while lifting and supporting the substitute work machine 1, and even during the substitute work, as described above, an obstacle or the like May contact the interlocking arm 53, or the extension leveling plate may contact an obstacle and the extension leveling plate may rotate upward, and the interlocking arm 53 may be pulled by force through the coupling body 60. The moving device 40 may be damaged.

  However, when an obstacle or the like comes into contact with the interlocking arm 53, or when the extension leveling plate contacts the obstacle and the extension leveling plate rotates upward, the interlocking arm 53 is forcibly pulled through the connecting body 60. As shown in FIG. 1, the shear pin 57 of the connection release support means 59 is broken, and the arm main body 56 is free from the arm support 55, and the arm main body 56 indicated by the two-dot chain line is disconnected. The support means 59 rotates around the fulcrum bolt 58 in the direction of travel. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a large load acts on the arm main body 56 and the power transmission mechanism 47 of the extended leveling plate rotating device 40, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which they are damaged.

  In the above-described embodiment, the left working body 20L and the right working body 20R are exemplified as the substitute working machine 1 having a structure in which the left working body 20L and the right working body 20R can be folded with respect to the working machine main body 2. It is also possible to use a grabber working machine that is configured such that the extension leveling plate left 30L and the extension leveling plate right 30R are rotatably attached to the end of the work machine body 2 in the width direction.

  Further, as a connection release support means, when the tip or ball of the pin held via an elastic body instead of the shear pin 57 protrudes into the recess provided in the support main body 55b and the position of the arm main body 56 is fixed, an overload occurs. A connection release support means may be used in which the pin or the ball retreats from the concave portion against the elastic body and the arm main body portion 56 is free from the arm support portion 55.

  In the above-described embodiment, the extended leveling plate rotating device 40 is provided above the shield cover 27, but may be provided on the main frame 21. If it does in this way, the installation position of the extended leveling board rotation apparatus 40 becomes higher, and it can reduce a possibility that it may contact the obstacle with comparatively low height.
