This invention belongs to the technical field of lifting devices, specifically mentioning a safe lifting device for steel structure construction. It includes a supporting plate, with symmetrical first connecting seats hinged to the supporting plate. A first telescopic rod is fixed to the first connecting seat, and a second connecting seat is fixed to the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod. A fixing rod is hinged to the second connecting seat, and a hook is hinged to the fixing rod. Symmetrical connecting ropes are fixed to a sliding frame, and the symmetrical connecting ropes are collectively fixed to a square plate. Four L-shaped connecting plates are slidably connected to the square plate, and the L-shaped connecting plates located on the same side of the H-beam are collectively fixed to a support plate. This invention, through the cooperation of the hook and lifting lugs, and by utilizing the support plate to provide partial upward support to the H-beam, reduces the tensile force at the welded joint between the lifting lugs and the H-beam, further improving the safety of the H-beam during lifting.
