A safety device for vertically moving load carrier is disclosed. It includes a vertical column, a retainer, a vertical safety rack, a pivot shaft, a safety detent pivotally fitted on the pivot shaft and a resilient member. When a flexible transmission belt disposed in the vertical column is in a normally sealedly installed state, the safety detent is positioned in a first position without contacting with the safety rack. While in case the transmission belt is accidentally broken and in a loosened state, the safety detent is forced by the resilient member and rotated to a second position in contact with the safety rack. In the second position, the engaging section of the safety detent is just engaged with a horizontal section of one tooth of the safety rack so that the retainer and the load carried thereby are kept stationary at a certain height without abruptly dropping down to cause accident.
