The invention belongs to the field of elevators and particularly relates to a novel elevator structure. The novel elevator structure comprises a lift car and a lift car traction bearing system, wherein the lift car traction bearing system comprises a lift frame, a guide rail frame, a traction machine and a steel wire rope, a traction wheel is arranged on the traction machine, lift car wheels are arranged on the lift frame, a lift car guide rail, a counter-weight guide rail and a counter-weight frame are arranged on the guide rail frame, the novel elevator structure also comprises a rope head plate, the rope head plate and the traction wheels are respectively positioned at two sides of the lift car, the number of the lift car wheels is two, a base used for installing the lift car wheels is arranged on the lift frame, one end of the steel wire rope is fixedly arranged on the rope head plate, and the steel wire rope sequentially bypasses the two lift car wheels, the traction wheel and the counter-weight wheel from the rope head plate. Through the structure, the energy efficiency of a host machine and the operation comfort feeling of the elevator are also greatly improved, and the failure rate of the elevator is reduced. The structure adopts the two lift car wheels, the arrangement is freer, and the arrangement flexibility of the traction machine can also be greatly improved through the inclined arrangement of the two lift car wheels.
