The invention discloses a damping type locomotive. A windward inner cylinder is installed in an outer cylinder, and the bottom of the windward inner cylinder is provided with a grounding damping piece. When the inner cylinder moves down to be arranged on the grounding damping piece in a sleeving mode, a damping gap is formed between the inner cylinder and the grounding damping piece in the transverse direction. The inner cylinder is sleeved with the outer cylinder through a piston, hydraulic oil is arranged in the space relative to the piston moving down in the outer cylinder, and the space communicates with the inner cylinder. When the inner cylinder moves down to be arranged on the grounding damping piece in the sleeving mode, the hydraulic oil in the outer cylinder can enter the inner cylinder only through the damping gap, and therefore effective damping can be formed; since the grounding damping piece is located at the bottom in the outer cylinder, when the grounding damping pieceenters the lower port of the inner cylinder, damping starts to be formed, the height of the grounding damping piece is adjusted, the damping starting portion can be set, the grounding of a damper during driving on an uneven road surface is avoided, the driving safety is improved, controllability is ensured, the service life of the damper is easily ensured, the aims of preventing grounding and protecting the parts against grounding damage can be realized only with a small improvement (only by adding one grounding damping piece), and the controllability, comfort, stability, safety and reliability are improved.
