The invention relates to highway guardrail height rapid detection equipment and a detection method thereof. The highway guardrail height rapid detection equipment includes a moving base, and further includes a height adjustment part and a dynamic detection part which are arranged on the moving base; the dynamic detection part includes a telescopic probe, a guide sleeve, a sliding column, a guide wheel, a driving resistor, a driven resistor, a reminding component and an energy component, wherein the telescopic probe is arranged on the height adjustment part and abuts against the inner side faceof a guardrail, the guide sleeve is arranged on the height adjustment part, the sliding column is slidably connected with the guide sleeve, the guide wheel is arranged at the lower end of the slidingcolumn and abuts against the top face of the guardrail, the driving resistor is arranged on the sliding column, the driven resistor is arranged on the guide sleeve and is in contact with the drivingresistor, and the reminding component and the energy component are arranged on the height adjustment part; and both the telescopic probe and the reminding component are connected with the energy component, and the driven resistor is connected with the reminder component. The moving base is pushed to move along the guardrail during detection, by observing the working state of the reminding component, whether the guardrail meets the requirements or not can be determined, the detection time is short, the detection speed is high, and the detection efficiency can be effectively improved.
