An elevator, more particularly an elevator for passenger transport and/or freight transport, which elevator includes an elevator car, is arranged to travel in an elevator hoistway. Above the elevator hoistway is a space bounded by a floor, a counterweight, a first suspension roping and a second suspension roping, which suspension ropings connect the aforementioned elevator car and counterweight to each other, a mechanism configured to move the first suspension roping and the second suspension roping, one or more diverting pulleys of the first suspension roping disposed in said space, one or more diverting pulleys of the second suspension roping disposed in said space, and in which elevator the first suspension roping and the second suspension roping travel on vertical planes parallel to each other. The first suspension roping forms a loop around one or more diverting pulleys of the first suspension roping, the second suspension roping forms a loop around one or more diverting pulleys of the second suspension roping, said loops are nested and the diverting pulley of the outer loop is disposed outside the inner loop, and the suspension ropings pass through the apertures in the aforementioned floor. A method for modernizing an elevator is also disclosed. |
