The invention relates to the field of hoisting operation, in particular to a simple method for lifting and unloading heavy equipment. The simple method is characterized in that the simple method includes the steps that unloading racks are manufactured, and the unloading racks are placed besides a trailer; hoisting ropes are prepared, hoisting points are arranged, lifting positions are arranged, and goods are lifted; one end of the goods is hoisted and is inclined to the loading bottom surface of the trailer by 10 degrees; a holding rod with the lifted and unloaded goods of a crane are rotatedhorizontally by 15 degrees for hook falling and lays down the lifted and unloaded goods, and meanwhile, half of the goods is on the trailer, and the other half of the goods is pressed on the loading racks; the hoisting ropes are used to bundle the hoisting point of the other end of the goods, and the crane enters second hoisting; the step 11 is conducted for lifting the goods, the holding rod withthe lifted and unloaded goods of the crane are counter-rotated horizontally by 15 degrees; and the step 7 to the step 11 are repeated by using the third lifting position and the fourth lifting position until the goods is moved to the unloading racks and located between the centers of the two unloading racks. The hoisting method provides a working scheme of small tonnage crane operation for the heavy equipment and reduces the cost of lifting and unloading operation.
