A traction elevator system including elevator ropes, and hitch plates for terminating the elevator ropes. At least one of the hitch plates includes first and second vertically spaced, aligned support levels, with the rope terminations defining first and second complementary patterns, respectively, selected to reduce the maximum fleet angle by providing components thereof in the axial direction, with respect to the sheave axis, and transverse thereto, and by reducing the cross-sectional area occupied by the ropes at the hitch plate. |
