Abstract

Provided is a work vehicle in which a positioning antenna can be installed above a roof plate of a cab at an accurate position and in a proper attitude while preventing a positioning accuracy from being decreased by vibrations. The work vehicle includes a first mount member, a second mount member and a positioning antenna. The first mount member includes a left-side member fixed on the roof beam at the left side and a right-side member fixed on the roof beam at the right side. The second mount member is disposed above the roof plate across the left-side member and the right-side member. The positioning antenna is mounted on the second mount member.
