Lifting device and method for transporting a load in a lifting device

Abstract

The invention relates to a lifting device and a method for operating it, wherein the lifting device is configured to move at least one load vertically over a conveying height of up to three meters between an upper access point arranged at the head of the lifting device and a lower access point located vertically below it, wherein the lifting device comprises a cabin (10) designed to accommodate at least one person and at least one drive device (88) designed to move the cabin (10) with at least two drive units arranged parallel to each other, wherein the drive units for moving the cabin (10) each comprise a support belt (22) and each comprise a motor-driven winding roller (60) designed to wind up the support belt (22), and wherein the support belts (22) each extend from an end stop in the manner of a pulley system over at least oneTo further develop the lifting device, which consists of a support roller (62) arranged below the end stop and designed to support the cabin (10), and a deflection roller (64) arranged stationary between the winding roller (60) and the support roller (62), in such a way that the lifting device can be manufactured and installed in a particularly simple, space-saving and cost-effective manner, it is proposed that – the support rollers (62) are attached to a roof of the cabin (10), – the drive units (22, 60) and the support rollers (62) are arranged in a vertical plane above the cabin (10), and – the support belts (22) are each designed as flat belts and interact with the winding roller (60) in a force-fit manner.
