PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To handle freight efficiently by removing a cage for passenger from an elevator car frame in the case where there is no need to transfer passengers, and attaching it to a freight container instead, then transferring it in a hoistway of an elevator shuttle for passenger. SOLUTION: A lower elevator shuttle system 10 is composed of both upper and lower hoistways 11 and 12 and a shifting floor 13 shifting a cage to an adjacent car frame from the car frame of either of these hoistways 11 and 12, and the upper hoistway 11 is made connectible to the shifting floor 13 being concerned in an upper shuttle system 19 at an upper end. The lower hoistway 12 is extendedly installed in passing through a grand floor (lobby level) 17, installing the cage conveyably toward a transfer floor 18 being concerned in the upper shuttle system 19 from a horizontal coveying level 16 of an underground part. According to necessity, the cage for passenger is removed from the elevator car frame, and it is attached to a freight container instead, making it transferable by way of the hoistway. |
