A rope elevator has a car and a counterweight hanging on suspension ropes and moving in opposite directions along guiderails in an elevator hoistway. A car guide-plane is formed by two car guiderails running parallel to the car-front and approximately through the center-of-gravity of the car. The elevator is driven by a drive unit with a traction sheave that is placed in the hoistway overhead above the travel-path of the counterweight so that the upper part of the car can reach a position in the hoistway above the drive unit. The suspension ropes run down from a first hitch-point situated in the hoistway overhead in the vicinity of the counterweight-side side-wall of the hoistway and around one or two pulleys of the counterweight, then up and around the traction sheave of the drive unit, then down again and horizontally/diagonally across under two pulleys underneath the car, and finally up again to a second hitch-point on the car-side side-wall of the hoistway. The drive unit is fastened by means of a supporting construction exclusively to the two counterweight guiderails and to the guiderail on the counterweight side of the car. |
