A load switch vehicle utilized in constructing a power distribution network diversion circuit for rural area, and an application thereof. The load switch vehicle comprises a tracked base (1) and a load switch (2). The tracked base (1) comprises two tracks (11), a supporting frame (12), and a track power device (13). A moving mechanism (3) is connected to a bottom part of the load switch (2), and a driving device (4). An intermediate frame (5) is connected above the supporting frame (12), and comprises a longitudinal guide rail (51). The driving device (4) is fixed on the intermediate frame (5) and drives the moving mechanism (3) to move along the longitudinal guide rail (51). The load switch (2) can rotate around the moving mechanism (3). The load switch (2) is further connected to a supporting component (6). A lower end of the supporting component (6) is fixed, via a mounting base, and on the intermediate frame (5). Two ends of the supporting component (6) are hinged via the mounting bases to rotate the supporting component (6) or the load switch (2) around the hinge joints. When in use, vertical and horizontal positions of the load switch are achieved by performing, using the driving device and the moving mechanism, a reciprocating motion on the guide rail, and employing the supporting component.
