PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shouldering band for a shouldering type work machine capable of improving shouldering comfort.SOLUTION: A shouldering band 8 comprises a belt-state band part 9 and a belt-state cushion part 10 which is disposed to overlap to the band part 9, which contacts an operator when the shouldering band is shouldered, and which applies cushion property. The band part 9 and the cushion part 10 comprise branch parts 9a, 10a which are branched into two on an end part, and an engagement part 12 to be engaged to an engagement part 13 on a work machine body part side, is provided on a tip end side of the branch part 9a of the band part 9. Tip end sides of the branch part 9a of the band part 9 and the branch part 10a of the cushion part 10 are connected with a connection part 14. Therefore, when the engagement part 12 on the tip end side of the branch part 9a of the band part 9 is engaged to the engagement part 13 on the work machine body part side, the tip end side of the branch part 10a of the cushion part 10 is not moved freely, but is pulled (guided) and moved by the connection part 14, for positioning thereof, for preventing positional deviation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
