Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1717185A1] In an elevator apparatus, guide rails for guiding a car and a counterweight,respectively,arearrangedin a hoistway. Further, a support structure is arranged in the hoistway separately from the car guide rail and the counterweight guide rail. The support structure has a support column extending upwardly from a bottom portion of the hoistway, and a support beam fixed to an upper end portion of the support column. A drive device having a drive sheave is fixed to the support beam. A main rope is wound around the drive sheave. The car and the counterweight are suspended by the main rope. Accordingly, the guide rails can be reduced in size, making it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the guide rails.
