Elevator machine lifting assembly

Abstract

An elevator machine lifting assembly constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a guide assembly, a frame assembly and a first jack assembly. The guide assembly include a guide base that supports the elevator machine and at least one roller. The frame assembly has a first vertical support member and a first baseplate. The first vertical support member provides a first track that receives the at least one roller thereon. The first jack assembly has a first lifting member that selectively moves relative to a first vertical column between a first position and a second position, the second position having a higher elevation than the first position. Movement of the lifting member from the first position to the second position causes the guide base and elevator machine to be raised relative to the frame assembly while the at least one roller rolls along the first track.
