The invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and discloses safety protection equipment for elevator maintenance. The safety protection equipment comprises a supporting mechanism, two protection mechanisms and an overhauling mechanism. The supporting mechanism comprises a base, the top surface of the base is fixedly connected with a soft cushion, and the top surface of the soft cushion is fixedly connected with a pedal. The two protection mechanisms are arranged on the two sides of the top surface of the soft cushion correspondingly. Each protection mechanism comprises a connecting base, the connecting base is fixedly connected to the top face of the soft cushion, and the soft cushion is filled with hydraulic oil. A connecting rod A is fixedly connected to the end, close to the outer side of the soft cushion, of the connecting base, a hole is formed in the end, away from the connecting base, of the front face of the connecting rod A, and a connecting rod B is sleeved with the hole. A clamping jaw is fixedly connected to the end, far away from the connecting rod A, of the connecting rod B. Due to arrangement of the protection mechanisms, When a maintenance worker steps on the upper portion of an elevator, the clamping jaws are automatically connected with steel cables, the steel cables are used for limiting the elevator and improving the stability of the elevator, so that the maintenance worker overhauling from the upper portion of the elevator is protected, the protection process is automatic, use is made convenient, and the efficiency is high.
