The invention relates to the field of cable transportation, in particular to a cable carrying device which comprises two bases, the two bases are arranged in parallel, moving grooves are formed in the tops of the bases, the forming positions of the moving grooves in the two bases are staggered, moving plates are slidably connected into the moving grooves, lifting plates are arranged above the moving plates in an inserted mode, and the lifting plates are arranged on the lifting plates. Brackets are fixedly mounted on the sides, close to each other, of the two lifting plates, and the mounting positions of the brackets on the two lifting plates are staggered. According to an existing cable carrying mode, the carrying process is tedious, meanwhile, the position of a cable still needs to be manually guided in the carrying process, and the cable carrying efficiency is reduced. According to the cable carrying device, carrying of cables and cable trays can be rapidly and efficiently achieved, the positions of the cables do not need to be manually guided, and the problem that the carrying process of an existing cable carrying mode is tedious is solved.
