Said lower rope wheels (6,7,8,9) comprise one or more first lower rope wheels (6,7); and one or more second lower rope wheels (8,9) above the one or more first rope wheels (6,7). Said second ropes (R) comprise a first set of ropes (R1) forming a first U-shaped loop of ropes hanging from the car (1) and counterweight (2) and passing around said one or more first lower rope wheels (6,7); and a second set of ropes (R2) forming a second U-shaped loop of ropes hanging from the car (1) and counterweight (2) inside the first loop of ropes and passing around said one or more second lower rope wheels (8,9). |
