Elevator inspection system

摘要

An elevator system comprises a hoistway; an elevator car ( 12 ) arranged to move vertically within the hoistway; a plurality of landings opening into said hoistway; and a pit ( 22 ) located below a lowermost landing ( 18 ). The elevator system further comprises an engineer interface, e.g. a key switch, located at or near the lowermost landing arranged to generate a control signal for moving the elevator car to a predetermined parking position above the lowermost landing thereby allowing access to the pit.
