The invention discloses a guide 
beam walking type bridge detection and 
rescue work vehicle which is composed of a guide beam, a motor vehicle, a detection vehicle and a 
rescue vehicle. The guide 
beam walking type bridge detection and 
rescue work vehicle works under bridges. The detection vehicle and the 
rescue vehicle are respectively of a multi-level truss structure, and can be contracted and rotationally folded under the action of a hydrocylinder, and a lifting device is arranged inside the truss of the 
rescue vehicle. The detection vehicle and the rescue vehicle on the guide beam are completely contracted and folded when passing through a bridge 
pier, and the maximum cross sectional dimension of the detection vehicle and the rescue vehicle is within 1.1m*1.1m. On the working condition of bridge detection, the rescue vehicle is completely contracted and folded, the detection vehicle is partly unfolded, and a work platform used for bridge detection is provided. On the working condition of rescue, the detection vehicle and the rescue vehicle are completely unfolded, a door frame structure is connected to the two sides of the bridge 
pier in an overlapped mode, and at the moment, a 
winch on the rescue vehicle is located in the middle of the door frame and can conduct lifting rescue operation. The guide 
beam walking type bridge detection and 
rescue work vehicle has the functions of loading, bridge detection and lifting rescue, automatically provides power, has the capability of passing through the bridge 
pier, is wide in detection range, can be applied to daily maintenance work of the bridge conveniently and effectively, and can also be used as a device for railway 
accident emergency rescue.
