Abstract

A portion of an elevator car electrical system, such as car computer, terminals, communication apparatus, etc., is mounted in an apparatus space integrated into a car roof. The apparatus space is arranged along a car roof edge and utilizes a constructional height required for stiffening the car roof. The portion of the car electrical system is accessible by a moveable cover for service. When closed, the cover forms a standing surface which can be used for servicing in the elevator shaft.
