The invention discloses an anti-collision pre-warning system and method for hoisting equipment. The anti-collision pre-warning system is based on a distributed type modular framework, and comprises aninformation collection system, an information transmission system and a field control system which are arranged in a distributed modularity mode, and all equipment and fixed obstacles are placed in the same coordinate system. The anti-collision pre-warning method includes the steps that the real-time position, the moving direction and speed information of moving parts of all the equipment are collected and preliminarily calculated by all the hoisting equipment in the field, then relevant information exchange is carried out, the probability of collision is calculated and pre-warning is carriedout, and the steps are cycled and repeated every 0.1 second. According to the anti-collision pre-warning system and method for the hoisting equipment, the distributed type anti-collision system framework is built, anti-collision calculation rules are made, the problem of collision among the hoisting equipment is decomposed into the problem of collision between the moving parts, a binary tree traversal recursive algorithm is adopted to ensure the prediction accuracy of the collision phenomenon, then the collision phenomenon is subjected to commonness processing, a collision pre-warning algorithm is compiled, and collision pre-warning is realized according to the anti-collision rules and algorithm compilation.
