Abstract
An elevator cage is arranged in an elevator shaft at one end of a support means, and a counterweight is arranged at the other end of the support means. If the elevator cage is at the top in the elevator shaft, the support means length and the weight of the support means are large on the counterweight side. If the elevator cage is at the bottom in the elevator shaft, the support means length and the weight of the support means are large on the cage side. A first balancing element and a second balancing element are provided as equalization for the weight shift from the counterweight side to the cage side.
