A method for erecting an elevator system in an elevator shaft of a building includes performing at least one lift process to adapt a usable lift height of the elevator system to an increasing height of the building. During the lift process, a drive platform, which supports an elevator drive machine and, via a flexible support, an elevator car and a counterweight, is lifted along at least one elevator car guide rail. Prior to the lift process, the at least one elevator car guide rail is elongated in the upwards direction above the drive platform and fixed to a shaft wall of the elevator shaft by at least one auxiliary support in the region of the elongation. After the lift process, the at least one auxiliary support, which then lies below the drive platform, is replaced by a final guide rail mounting which is designed differently than the auxiliary support.

A method and a mounting device for carrying out an installation operation in an elevator shaft of an elevator system include introducing a first elongate reference element into the elevator shaft oriented in a main direction of extent of the elevator shaft. The mounting device is introduced into the elevator shaft, which mounting device has a carrier component and a mechatronic installation component held by the carrier component. The mounting device is displaced into a fixing position in the main direction of extent of the elevator shaft. The relative position of the carrier component of the mounting device is determined with respect to the first reference element in the fixing position with a sensor arranged on the installation component. The relative position of the first reference element is determined with respect to at least two different sensor positions and thus positions of the installation component.

A method for constructing at least two elevators in a building under construction adapts the usable lifting heights of the elevators to an increasing height of the building, wherein each of the elevators is arranged in an elevator shaft of the building associated with the elevator and includes a drive platform having an elevator drive machine that supports and drives an elevator car and a counterweight by a traction sheave and at least one flexible suspension device. In order to adapt the usable lifting heights, lifting operations are performed in which in alternation one of the drive platforms is raised to a higher level in the associated elevator shaft and is locked there. A single lifting platform is temporarily fastened above the particular drive platform to be lifted to apply a lifting force required to raise the drive platform, which force is transferred to supporting elements of the elevator shaft.

A temporary platform for assembling elevator equipment in an elevator shaft is arranged substantially in the region of a shaft opening, such that the platform partially sits on a floor surface of the building and partially protrudes into the elevator shaft. The platform includes a bottom frame and bottom plates that lie on or are inserted into the bottom frame. The bottom frame also includes two lateral bottom bars, at least one front and one rear transverse bar that interconnect the two lateral bottom bars, and at least two intermediate bars that are arranged parallel to the two lateral bottom bars. The two intermediate bars are supported substantially by the front and the rear transverse bars.

A cageway connecting device and connecting method thereof is invented, the device includes a connecting cageway, an upper cannula, a lower cannula, two first steel angles, a fixed block, a pin boss and a fixed pin. The connecting cageway is set between the upper cageway and the lower cageway. The upper cannula is fixed in the connecting cageway. The lower cannula is fixed in the connecting cageway. The two first steel angles are fixed on the connecting cageway. The fixed block is fixed on the upper cannula. The pin boss is fixed on the lower cageway. The fixed pin is passed through the first pin bore and inserted into the second pin bore. The invention improve the accuracy of the initial installation of the cageway and facilitate the replacement of the cageway. The first cageway beam is determined and controllable.
