The invention belongs to the technical field of high-altitude operation appliances, and particularly relates to a self-weight hanging basket. The self-weight hanging basket comprises a hanging basketbody and a hanging basket support; the hanging basket body comprises a bottom plates, side baffles and a protection fence, and a connection plate is arranged on the protection fence; the hanging basket support comprises a first support and a second support which are fixedly connected, the first support is hinged to the connection plate, and the end, far from the first support, of the second support is provided with a fastening mechanism. In the self-weight hanging basket, the hinge point of the hanging basket body and the hanging basket support is located above the center of gravity of the hanging basket body, when a telescopic arm stretches out and draws back, the hanging basket body turns vertical automatically by relying on the effect of self weight, thus a high-altitude operator maintains vertical to the ground all the time during work, and the work state is comfortable.
