The spacing between the guide rails of old elevators is wider than the current standard, which makes the existing standard design inapplicable. Replacing the counterweight frame is costly, and existing renovation solutions have problems such as incalculable costs or the need for complex modifications to the counterweight frame.
A U-shaped bracket is installed on the outside of the side beam and a fastening nut is welded to meet the installation distance between the side beam and the guide rail, while maintaining the use of the existing upper and lower beams. The renovation of old elevators is achieved through detachable connection.
This approach meets the needs of retrofitting old elevators at low cost, maintains existing production processes, reduces retrofitting costs, and avoids the high cost of re-molding the heavy blocks.

[0002] In order to guarantee the safety of residents, some old elevators need to be reconstructed because of high failure rate, high maintenance cost, high use risk, poor ride comfort, equipment aging and other reasons. Generally, the service life of elevator guide rails is relatively long, and the replacement cost is too high, so most people choose to keep the guide rails and replace the counterweight frame. However, with the development of the elevator industry for many years, technology is constantly innovated, and standards are constantly improved. The guide rail spacing of most old elevators is wider than the current standard, which makes some current standard designs not fully applicable to some old elevator structures.
