A refrigerator includes a main body (10) having chambers (14,18) for keeping food items therein, a base frame (30) disposed to be movable in outward and inward directions in a lower cooling chamber (18) disposed at a lower portion of the main body (10), and having a basket door (22) at its front side, a lift frame (36) disposed on the base frame (30), on which the basket (20) is put, a fluid pressure cylinder (40) mounted at the base frame (30) and connected to the lift frame (36) to lift the lift frame (36), and a fluid compressor (42) connected to the fluid pressure cylinder (40) by a fluid supply pipe (66) and supplying compressed fluid to the fluid pressure cylinder (40). Accordingly, as the basket (20) is lifted when being drawn out, a user can take out food items kept in the basket (20) without bending his/her back, which enhances user's convenience.
