METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR FORMING A SAFETY SPACE IN THE LOWER PART OF AN ELEVATOR SHAFT

摘要

The invention concerns a method and system for forming a safety space in the lower part of an elevator shaft. To provide the required safety space, the floor (3) of the elevator car (2) is removed from its position over the safety space. This is preferably accomplished by turning the floor upward about a hinge (8) in the front edge of the floor so as to bring the floor to a position in front of the door of the elevator car.
