  • the car 4 can be stably suspended at its center of gravity.
  • first and second main rope connection portions 9 and 10 are disposed on both sides of the car 4, it is not necessary to dispose connection portions for the main rope group 15 on an upper portion of the car 4. Consequently, the dimensions of the upper portion of the car 4 can be reduced, enabling suppression of increases in height dimensions of the hoistway 1 while disposing the driving machine 6 in the upper portion inside the hoistway 1.
  • first and second car return sheaves 11 and 12 are disposed between the hoistway walls 1a and 1b and the region projected vertically from the car 4, the first and second car return sheaves 11 and 12 do not come into contact with the car 4. Consequently, increases in height dimensions of the hoistway 1 can be suppressed.
  • Increases in height dimensions of the hoistway 1 can be further suppressed if lower ends of the first and second car return sheaves 11 and 12 are disposed so as to be lower than a car ceiling position when the car 4 is positioned at a maximum point of upward motion, .
  • the equipment can be disposed utilizing space inside the hoistway 1 effectively and can be easily adapted to changes in frontage dimensions and depth dimensions of the car 4.
  • first and second main ropes 16 and 17 composed of a synthetic fiber rope having a high coefficient of friction and superior flexibility are used, diameters of the drive sheave 8, the return sheaves 11 to 13, and the pulley 14 can be reduced, enabling suppression of increases in height dimensions of the hoistway 1.
