The invention discloses an electric climbing device which comprises a casing, a work rope, a rope pressing mechanism, a hanging ring, a motor and an electric motor manipulator, wherein a rope-rolling disk is fixedly arranged in the casing; the casing body is provided with a rope inlet and a rope outlet; the work rope enters the inner part of the casing from the rope inlet, and rounds the rope-rolling disk to pass through the casing from the rope outlet; the rope pressing mechanism is pressed by the work rope at the rope inlet and simultaneously exerts pressing force on the work rope on the rope-rolling disk; the hanging ring is fixedly arranged on the casing; an output shaft of the motor is connected with the rope-rolling disk in a coupling mode; and the electric manipulator controls positive rotation, reverse rotation and stoppage of the electric motor. The invention has the advantages that firstly, the stroke is not limited, secondly, a load pressing rope is absolutely reliable, thirdly, the load pressing rope and run are automatically converted by run commands of the electric motor, fourthly, the work rope executes dual functions of brake of a safety pressing rope at any time, fifthly, the load pressing rope belongs to soft brake without impact, is absolutely reliable, and can brake load for a long time, and sixthly, the work rope has very little abrasion and long service life.
