Abstract

The method comprises installing a lowermost first section of guide rail elements, moving a guide rail element upwards along a row of already installed guide rail elements with a transport apparatus, connecting the guide rail element to an upper end of the row of already installed guide rail elements and attaching the guide rail element to a wall of the shaft from a transport platform, moving the transport apparatus downwards along the row of already installed guide rails in order to fetch a new guide rail element.
