Elevator systems utilize safety mechanisms with brakes that engage guide rails when an elevator car limit speed is exceeded or when a free-fall condition is detected. A device may be employed in such elevator systems to simultaneously activate the safety mechanisms and vastly decrease the likelihood that failure of the members connecting one safety mechanism will render other safety mechanisms inoperative. The device may generally include a rotatable central member that is configured to be coupled to a governor assembly of an elevator system. The device may also generally include linkages that connect the central member in parallel to the safety mechanisms. When the governor assembly is activated and exerts an activation force at the central member, the central member rotates to simultaneously activate the safety mechanisms and engage brakes of the safety mechanisms with the guide rails.

The method comprises installing a lowermost first section of guide rail elements, moving a guide rail element upwards along a row of already installed guide rail elements with a transport apparatus, connecting the guide rail element to an upper end of the row of already installed guide rail elements and attaching the guide rail element to a wall of the shaft from a transport platform, moving the transport apparatus downwards along the row of already installed guide rails in order to fetch a new guide rail element.
