Abstract

See full text

In a hydraulic excavator, a controller is configured to control output of an engine based on a first engine output torque line that defines an upper limit for engine output torque against engine rotation rate. The controller is configured to determine which of two operations, a high hydraulic load operation in which a work machine is subjected to a high hydraulic load and a low hydraulic load operation in which the work machine is subjected to a low hydraulic load, is being performed. When swinging for a revolving unit and the low hydraulic load operation for the work machine are being performed as a combined operation, the controller is configured to control the output of the engine based on a second engine output torque line. The second engine output torque line is an engine output torque line with a lower engine output torque than the first engine output torque line.
