The invention relates to the field of suspended maintenance of steel-wire-ropes on a large-scale bridge and hydraulic engineering hoists, and discloses a steel-wire-rope-suspended maintenance machine. The steel-wire-rope-suspended maintenance machine comprises steel wire rope guide wheel oil seals, a chain wheel, a chain wheel adjustment shaft, a locking buckle, a locking buckle hanging rope, a forward-and-reverse-rotation electric winch, hairbrush rolls and the like, and is characterized in that a maintenance machine framework is rectangular-shaped or column-shaped or special-shaped and is formed by connecting the folding locking buckle, a left box and a right box. The left box and the right box are opened. Steel wire ropes are sleeved in two semicircular steel wire rope guide wheel oil seals. When the left box and the right box are closed, the locking buckle locks the steel wire ropes, the steel wire rope guide wheel oil seals and the steel wire ropes rub in a sliding mode, more than two hairbrush rolls are fixedly connected inside the left box and the right box, and a motor drives the hairbrush rolls to tightly contact the steel wire ropes and operates in a rub mode. Accordingly, not only dust, sand and aged old oil can be cleaned but also new oil can be efficiently and evenly covered on the surfaces of the steel wire ropes, and all kinds of defects of prior manual oil coating are overcome. The steel-wire-rope-suspended maintenance machine is reasonable in structural design, and improves operation levels and work efficiency.
