The invention discloses an auxiliary device for installation of a steel structure. The auxiliary device comprises a fixing frame, the fixing frame is of the U-shaped structure, bolts are correspondingly and rotatably connected to the two sides of the fixing frame in a penetrating mode, fixing plates are arranged on the sides, close to the inner side of the fixing frame, of the bolts, first connecting plates are arranged at the upper ends of the bolts, the first connecting plates are fixedly connected with the fixing frame, rotating shafts are arranged on the first connecting plates in a penetrating mode, and are connected with second connecting plates, the other ends of the second connecting plates are provided with guide rollers, and two second connecting plates are locked with each otherby connecting a fixing rod. According to the auxiliary device, when the steel structure is butted, the steel structure lifted by a crane can absorbs the auxiliary device by a strong magnet, then theauxiliary device is pulled to the position of the steel structure fixed by the fixing frame by a pull rod, abutting is conducted, the dangerous operation of dragging the steel structure in the artificial high attitude is avoided, the steel structure cannot swing during connecting, and the connection is fast and easy.
