The invention discloses an elevator device, which includes a car, a drive device, a counterweight or cable tightening device, a cable connecting the car and the counterweight or cable tightening device, a speed limiter for monitoring the speed of the car, a limiter cable for transmitting the motion of the car, a limiter cable tightening device, a car guide rail and a counterweight guide rail for leading the car and a counterweight to move, and a lifting channel for containing the car, the drive device, the counterweight or cable tightening device and the cable, wherein, the limiter cable tightening device is arranged at the lower end of the lifting channel with the car or the counterweight guide rail as the a leading guide rail. The invention can make sure the eccentric force of a guide shoe and the guide rail, simplifies a guide structure of the limiter cable tightening device, reduces the cost, and meanwhile, results in more flexible structure deployment of the mechanical structure of the elevator and reduces the civil engineering dimension.
