This disclosure provides an experiment device for spudcan penetration and pullout of a jack-up rig, comprising an experiment bench and a spudcan leg, and further comprising: a ballasting tank; supporting wheels provided on the experiment bench; a suspension rope wound around the supporting wheels with two ends being connected respectively to the spudcan leg and the ballasting tank, wherein the ballasting tank has a first state of being seated on the spudcan leg and a second state of being separated from the spudcan leg and suspended under the suspension rope, by configuring the ballasting tank to have two different states, the gravity of the ballasting tank can be used as both the penetration force and the pullout force, and eliminating the need to provide two loading devices to apply the penetration pressure and the pullout force respectively.
