1. A construction machine comprising:
a vehicle body frame composed of a support structural body of a vehicle body that is self-propelled in a front-and-rear direction and including a center frame disposed in the center in the right-and-left direction perpendicular to the front-and-rear direction, a left side frame provided on the left side of the center frame and extending in a front-and-rear direction, and a right side frame provided on the right side of the center frame and extending in the front-and-rear direction;
a fuel tank storing fuels provided on the vehicle body frame; and
a hydraulic oil tank storing hydraulic oil provided on the vehicle body frame, wherein
a front extension beam and a rear extension beam for supporting the right side frame or the left side frame to the center frame are disposed at an interval in a front-and-rear direction of the center frame,
an upper portion of the front extension beam and an upper portion of the rear extension beam away from the center frame side from an intermediate portion in the right-and-left direction is a hydraulic oil tank attachment site, and closer to the center frame side from the intermediate portion is a fuel tank attachment site for supporting the fuel tank,
the fuel tank attachment site is formed so as to have a smaller height dimension than the hydraulic oil tank attachment site,
the hydraulic oil tank attachment site has a height position, which is higher than that of the fuel tank attachment site and equivalent to that of an upper surface of the right side frame or an upper surface of the left side frame, and is mounted on a tank support base supporting the hydraulic oil tank,
the tank support base separated upward from the hydraulic oil tank attachment site at the bottom surface portion of the hydraulic oil tank, and a reference oil surface of a hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank is set so as to a height dimension at an intermediate position of an oil level gauge provided in the hydraulic oil tank, and
a top surface portion of the hydraulic oil tank supported by the tank support base is disposed at a position higher than that of a top surface portion of the fuel tank.
