Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1118574A2] The lift system has a cabin in a cabin track (shaft) with reduced shaft pit depth. A temporary protection cavity is included under the cabin. When activated, this causes at least one of the braking devices in the movement track of the cabin to come into operation, e.g. by surfaces which grip rails, cables, walls etc.
