The invention discloses a hand-operated elevator, and belongs to the technical field of transportation. The hand-operated elevator comprises a rack body, a guide rail groove, a hanging part, a fixed pulley, a haulage rope and a rope coiling rack. The guide rail groove is fixed in the middle of the rack body, and the concave face of the guide rail groove faces upwards. The guide rail groove extendsforwards to excess the bottom of the rack body, and the extending end of the guide rail groove is slightly higher. The fixed pulley is arranged on the upper portion of the rack body. The hanging partcomprises a movable pulley, a bent part and a hook, and the bent part is connected with the two ends of a central spindle of the movable pulley to form an opening. The guide rail groove can penetratethrough the opening, and the movable pulley is clamped into the guide rail groove and moves towards the middle of the rack body. The haulage rope is drawn out from the extending end of the guide railgroove and is wound into a groove of the movable pulley and wound against the fixed pulley; and at last the haulage rope is coiled onto the rope coiling rack. The hand-operated elevator is safe and stable in operation, and materials can be unloaded safely and reliably.
