An elevator apparatus comprises a cage (2) which is reciprocatively movable up and down within an elevator shaft (1); a counterweight (3) which is reciprocatively movable up and down within said elevator shaft (1); a main rope (12) suspending said cage (2) and said counterweight (3); and a hoisting machine (4) having a drive sheave (5) around which said main rope (12) is wound, wherein said cage (2) and said counterweight (3) are reciprocatively moved up and down by said main rope (12) upon rotation of said drive sheave. The elevator apparatus further comprises a mounting platform (15) disposed between the ceiling of said cage (2) and that of said elevator shaft (1) when said cage (2) has reached said topmost level; a first turning pulley (10) mounted on said mounting platform (15) and around which a portion of said main rope (12) extends from said cage (2) to said drive sheave (5) is wound; and a second turning pulley (11) on said mounting platform (15) and around which other portion of said main rope (12) extending from said drive sheave (5) to said counterweight (3) is wound.
