The invention discloses a novel elevator used for laying of an electric transmission line. The novel elevator structurally comprises a lifting handle, a machine body, a mounting hole, mounting plates,a pull handle, a door plate and a symmetric hinge; the middle position of the top face of the machine body and the bottoms of the two ends of the lifting handle are connected together in a mechanicalconnection manner, the lifting handle is of an integrated U structure, the mounting plates are arranged at the bottoms of the left side and the right side of the machine body in a hinged connection manner, the two mounting plates are parallel and are symmetrically mounted, the mounting plates are of rectangular structures, two symmetric mounting holes are formed in each mounting plate, and the mounting holes and the mounting plates are of integrated structures. The novel elevator used for laying of the electric transmission line has the beneficial effects that the elevator is simple in structure, small in size, convenient to carry and high in maneuverability, elevating work of a large mechanical device in the area lack of access to transportation can be effectively avoided, cost of line laying can be efficiently reduced, and the use range is wide.
