Elevator car comprising a working opening

Elevator car (6) having a longitudinal dimension (A) in a longitudinal direction (L) and a transverse dimension (B) in a transverse direction (T) that is oriented transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the longitudinal direction (L) defining a horizontal area of the elevator car (6), the elevator car (6) comprising:

• at least two longitudinal beams (32a-32d) extending basically parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction (L) at the top of the elevator car (6);
• and
• at least two transverse beams (33a-33d) attached to the longitudinal beams (32a-32d) and extending basically parallel to each other in the transverse direction (T), such that;
• two of the least two longitudinal beams (32a-32d) and two of the least two transverse beams (33a-33d) define a working opening (25) allowing a mechanic (50) to access at least one component (52) that is located above or on top of the elevator car (6) from inside the elevator car (6);
• wherein the working opening (25) has a predefined longitudinal opening dimension (x) and a predefined transverse working opening dimension (y) defining an area of the working opening (25), and wherein at least one of the longitudinal and transverse working opening dimensions (x, y) is independent of the respective longitudinal and transverse dimension (A, B) of the elevator car (6).
