The utility model relates to a rotary type material elevator. The rotary type material elevator comprises a lifting motor connected with a lifting basket by a steel wire rope and a cantilever girder connected with a support fixed on a roof and the ground by a rotatable bracket, wherein the cantilever girder is divided into a front girder and a rear girder by the rotatable bracket, the ratio of the lengths of the front girder and the rear girder is 1:(3-5), the lower end of the support is connected with a rear girder end point and the front girder by two reinforced steel wire ropes respectively, a cast iron counter weight is pressed at the lower end of the support, and a balancing counter weight is arranged at the rear end of the rear girder. According to the rotary type material elevator, the working region is expanded, the transportation labor intensity is greatly reduced, and the working efficiency is improved; the rotary type material elevator has compact and stable structure and low cost; the rotary type material elevator is suitable for vertically and efficiently transporting building materials such as panels, reinforcing steel bars, cement, bricks, sands and the like, and also can be matched with a manned basket to realize cleaning and maintenance of outer walls, installation of advertising boards and the like.
