The invention discloses a hydraulic forklift hoisting device. The problems that in the prior art, driving capability is low, hoisting weight is low, and hoisting process protection is not provided are mainly solved. The device comprises an oil groove, a gear pump, a check valve, a three-way four-position reversing valve, an oil cylinder and a controller, wherein hydraulic oil is arranged in the oil groove; an inlet of the gear pump is arranged in the oil groove, and the gear pump is used for hydraulic pressing; the check valve is arranged at an outlet of the gear pump; an inlet of the three-way four-position reversing valve is connected with the check valve, an outlet of the three-way four-position reversing valve is connected with the oil groove, and the three-way four-position reversing valve is driven with 4-20 mA; the oil cylinder is connected with the reversing valve; and the controller is connected with three-way four-position reversing valve and the gear pump and used for hoisting lifting and travelling control. According to the scheme, the hydraulic forklift hoisting device has the advantages of being high in driving capability, swift in operation, stable in lifting, thorough in lifting process protection and the like, and has quite high practical value and popularization value in the hoisting equipment field.
