  • Integrated elevator installation hoist tool
    Patent number: 6446763
    Abstract: A hoist tool for lifting a machine assembly in an elevator to an installation position is mounted to a machine beam which also supports the machine assembly. The hoist tool is thus mounted in a location where it does not require any additional axial space. Preferably, the hoist tool is mounted to one lateral side of the machine assembly, and within an axial extension of the machine assembly downwardly from the machine beam into the hoistway.
