An electric winch device provided in a crane for raising and lowering an object, the electric winch device comprising: an electric motor; a winch drum driven by the electric motor to rotate for raising of the object; a braking device configured to brake rotation of the winch drum; a braking operation part to be operated for stopping moving-down of the object; a regenerative power consumption unit configured to consume at least a part of regenerative power regenerated by the electric motor at the moving-down of the object to cause the electric motor to generate a braking force on the rotation of the winch drum; and a controller comprising: an operational braking force estimation section configured to estimate an operational braking force which is a braking force according to an operation amount of the braking operation part; a braking force determination section configured to determine, out of the operational braking force, each of a first braking force to be borne by the braking device and a second braking force to be borne by a braking force which is generated in the electric motor due to consumption of the regenerative power; and a control section configured to cause the braking device to apply the first braking force, which has been determined by the braking force determination section, to the winch drum, characterized by a setting unit for setting an allowable stopping height (h) which is a height of a lowest position at which the object is required to be stopped at a time of a free-fall of the object, wherein the controller further comprises a required braking force estimation section configured to estimate a required braking force (F h) which is a braking force required to stop the free-falling object at a position at the allowable stopping height (h) set by the setting unit, and the braking force determination section is configured to compare the required braking force (F h) estimated by the required braking force estimation section with the operational braking force estimated by the operational braking force estimation section to determine a large/small relation between the required braking force (F h) and the operational braking force, and determine the first braking force to be a braking force equal to or greater than the required braking force (F h) when, at a time of stopping of the free-falling object, the operational braking force estimated by the operational braking force estimation section is equal to or greater than the required braking force (F h) estimated by the required braking force estimation section. an electric motor;
