The invention discloses a rotary lifting appliance with three lifting points. Steel beam sections can be perpendicularly pocketed and lifted by the rotary lifting appliance with the three lifting points. The rotary lifting appliance with the three lifting points comprises a lower beam and an upper beam. A middle rotary lifting hook is arranged below the middle of the lower beam and is connected with the lower beam by a pulling plate assembly, a left rotary lifting hook is arranged below the left end of the lower beam and is connected with the lower beam by a pulling plate assembly, a right rotary lifting hook is arranged below the right end of the lower beam and is connected with the lower beam by a pulling plate assembly, the two upper beams are arranged above the left end and the right end of the lower beam, the left end and the right end of the lower beam are connected to the middles of the upper beams by two rotation reversing devices, and two fixed pulley blocks are arranged above two ends of each upper beam and are connected with the upper beam by two rotation reversing devices. The rotary lifting appliance has the advantage that the technical problem of inconvenience in lifting and transporting existing steel beam sections and bridge deck slabs between two stay cable surfaces can be solved by the aid of the rotary lifting appliance.
