The invention discloses a hanging basket for detecting and maintaining anchor mooring heads of a boom and a stay cable of a bridge. The hanging basket mainly comprises a detecting platform, a suspension structure (comprising suspension belts, a suspension frame and a suspension arm), a supporting structure (comprising a supporting frame, a counterweight platform seat and a counterweight arranged on the counterweight platform seat) and a walking structure (comprising walking wheels and a track), wherein the detecting platform, the suspension structure, the supporting structure and the walking structure are sequentially connected; the detecting platform, the suspension frame, the suspension arm and the supporting frame are all of cube structures; the suspension belts are high-strength steel wire ropes; the value of a tension force of the suspension belts can be regulated through a chain block. According to the hanging basket disclosed by the invention, an assembling mode is adopted, components are light and convenient, transportation is convenient, disassembling and assembling are convenient and quick, and a dedicated hoisting device is not needed during disassembling and assembling; the hanging basket is mainly applied to the fields of detecting and maintaining construction of an anchor mooring head of the stay cable of a cable-stayed bridge and an anchor mooring head of the boom of a boom arch bridge, and the like. When the traffic flow on the bridge is larger, the detecting and maintaining construction time is longer, or the adoption of a bridge detecting operation vehicle is difficult, the hanging basket disclosed by the invention has the advantages of quickness in disassembling and assembling, good controllability, high safety and low cost.
