To provide a wheel loader capable of holding a front camera at an appropriate position, according to a work state.SOLUTION: A wheel loader includes: a vehicle body; a work device supported at a front end of the vehicle body and vertically moving; a cab supported by the vehicle body at a rear part from the work device; a front camera imaging a front lower side of the vehicle body; and a camera bracket attached to a top face of the cab, and holding the front camera. The camera bracket includes: a base plate fixed to the top face of the cab; a support frame having a camera support part at a front end and a rear end supported by the base plate rotatably around a shaft extending in a width direction of the vehicle body; a stay supporting a support frame of an attitude inclined in relation to the base plate; and a camera holder provided in the camera support part, and rotatably holding the front camera so that an optical axis of the front camera directs the same target position, even when the attitude of the support frame varies.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】作業状況に合わせて前方カメラを適切な位置に保持可能なホイールローダを提供する。【解決手段】ホイールローダは、車体と、車体の前端に支持されて上下方向に動作する作業装置と、作業装置より後方で車体に支持されたキャブと、車体の前方下側を撮影する前方カメラと、キャブの天面に取り付けられて、前方カメラを保持するカメラブラケットとを備える。カメラブラケットは、キャブの天面に固定されたベースプレートと、前端にカメラ支持部を有し、後端が車体の幅方向に延びる軸周りに回動可能にベースプレートに支持された支持フレームと、ベースプレートに対して傾斜した姿勢の支持フレームを支持するステーと、カメラ支持部に設けられ、支持フレームが姿勢変化しても前方カメラの光軸が同一の目標位置を向くように回動可能に前方カメラを保持するカメラホルダとを備える。【選択図】図１
