The invention relates to a manipulator of a high-altitude live working vehicle, which belongs to the field of special vehicles. The manipulator comprises a base and two manipulators, wherein each manipulator comprises a rotating platform, an insulation part, a lower arm, a middle arm, an upper arm, a small arm, a tail end mechanism, and hydraulic cylinders of the middle arm, the upper arm, the small arm, and the tail end mechanism; the lower arm and the middle arm, as well as the middle arm and the upper arm, and the upper arm and the small arm are hinged; the small arm is connected with the tail end mechanism; the hydraulic cylinder of the middle arm is fixed on the rotating platform and is hinged with the middle arm; the hydraulic cylinder of the upper arm is hinged with the middle arm and the upper arm; the hydraulic cylinder of the small arm is hinged with the upper arm and the small arm; and the hydraulic cylinder of the tail end mechanism is connected with the small arm and the tail end mechanism. The tail end mechanism comprises a connecting bar, a paw, a crossbeam, a square dowel, and pincers mounted on the paw for taking, pressing and cutting wires, wherein the connecting bar is hinged with the hydraulic cylinder of the tail end mechanism and the paw; the paw is hinged with the crossbeam; and the square dowel is connected with the crossbeam and the small arm. When the manipulator is used for implementing high-altitude live working, the working safety can be guaranteed and the automation level can be improved.
