Abstract

An elevator system may include at least two elevator shafts along with an elevator car with a cab and a chassis device. The cab may be mounted rotatably about a horizontal rotational axis relative to the chassis device. A vertically extending rail, along which the elevator car is movable, may be disposed in each elevator shaft. Each of the rails may include a rotatable segment such that the rotatable segments are alignable with respect to one another so that the elevator car is movable along the segments between the elevator shafts. A first device may lock the cab relative to the chassis device, and a second device may hold the cab relative to the elevator shafts.
