Abstract: The installation platform comprises two decks and a support frame comprising horizontal support beams supporting a respective deck and vertical support beams. The installation platform has a width in a first horizontal direction between the guide rails, a depth in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The installation platform is guided movably via guide means on the guide rails. At least one of the width and the depth of the installation is adjustable in order to adjust the horizontal dimensions of the installation platform according to the horizontal dimensions of the shaft.

Abstract: A solution for detecting an entity of an elevator system based on a representation generated from measurement data is provided. The solution includes generating the representation in a frequency domain descriptive of a vibration experienced by the elevator car; determining if the representation includes a number of portions corresponding to reference data; and setting, in accordance with a determination, a detection result to express one of the following: i) an entity corresponding to a vibrational fingerprint of the reference data is present in the elevator system, ii) an entity corresponding to a vibrational fingerprint of the reference data is absent in the elevator system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of monitoring an elevator roping, the roping comprising plurality of movable ropes, the method comprising emitting light in particular with one or more light sources on the ropes while they move past the one or more light sources; and capturing with a camera system images continuously or intermittently of a zone towards which the one or more light sources emit light; and analyzing with an analyzing system the images captured by the camera system. Said emitting comprises emitting on a flank of each of said ropes at least one light beam having a shape, and said analyzing comprises recognizing in the images patterns of light emitted on said ropes and analyzing one or more characteristics of the recognized patterns. The invention also relates to a monitoring arrangement implementing the method.
