The invention relates to a transfer trolley and a lifting structure. The transfer trolley comprises a frame; the frame is provided with the lifting structure; the lifting structure comprises a fixingrack fixedly connected with the frame; a jacking rack is movably assembled on the fixing rack in a guiding manner in the vertical direction; the fixing rack is further provided with a connecting rod mechanism; swing rods of the connecting rod mechanism drive the jacking rack to move up and down when swinging; the fixing rack is further provided with a driving mechanism outputting a horizontal linear action; the swing rods are correspondingly hinged with pushing rods extending horizontally; and the linear output end of the driving mechanism is in pushing fit with the pushing rods and the swingrods are driven to swing when the pushing rods are pushed to move horizontally. The pushing rods are in pushing fit with the linear output end of the driving mechanism, the pushing rods can move up and down relative to the linear output end of the driving mechanism in a process that the pushing rods move front and back along with the driving mechanism, and therefore, when driving the pushing rodsto move front and back, the driving mechanism does not need to move up and down along with the pushing rods, and accordingly, an operator can conveniently operate the driving mechanism.
