Abstract: The invention relates to a construction arrangement of an elevator, comprising a hoistway formed in a building, the hoistway comprising at least one hoistway opening leading in horizontal direction out from the hoistway, the opening being delimited by a lower edge structure and an upper edge structure; and a load in the hoistway lower than said opening; and a hoisting arrangement for hoisting said load, wherein said hoisting arrangement comprises a support structure mounted higher than said load; and a hoisting device; and at least one flexible tension member connected or at least connectable to said load; wherein the at least one flexible tension member is movable with said hoisting device in particular for thereby transmitting a hoisting force to said load to be hoisted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a construction arrangement of an elevator comprising a hoistway; a protection deck mounted inside the hoistway for protecting the portion of the hoistway below it from falling objects; wherein the protection deck comprises a cover extending across the hoistway covering the hoistway such that it blocks objects from falling into the hoistway below it; and a frame mounted on stationary structures of the hoistway; and a hoisting apparatus for hoisting construction material below the protective deck. The hoisting apparatus is supported by the protective deck, the hoisting apparatus comprising a hoisting machine mounted on protection deck, and a flexible tension member movable with the hoisting machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for constructing an elevator comprising installing comprising installing an elevator car, a counterweight, one or more vertically oriented guide rail lines, a hoisting machine in a first position, and a first hoisting roping for being moved by the hoisting machine, said installing further comprising connecting the first hoisting roping to the elevator car and counterweight; and thereafter transporting passengers and/or goods with the elevator car vertically in the hoistway while the hoisting machine is in said first position; and thereafter stopping said transporting; and thereafter removing said hoisting machine from said first position and the first roping from the hoistway, said removing comprising disconnecting the first hoisting roping from the elevator car and counterweight; wherein the method further comprises installing a hoisting machine in a second position which is higher than the first position, and a second roping for being moved by the hoisting machine, said ins

Abstract: The installation platform comprises two decks and a support frame comprising horizontal support beams supporting a respective deck and vertical support beams. The installation platform has a width in a first horizontal direction between the guide rails, a depth in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The installation platform is guided movably via guide means on the guide rails. At least one of the width and the depth of the installation is adjustable in order to adjust the horizontal dimensions of the installation platform according to the horizontal dimensions of the shaft.
