Abstract

The invention relates to a lift system wherein a drive unit (2) drives, by means of a driving disk (4.1), a flat belt-type carrier means (12.1, 12.2) which carries the lift cage (3). Said flat belt-type carrier means comprises several ribs (20.1, 20.2) which extend in a parallel manner in a longitudinal direction of the carrier means on a bearing surface which is orientated towards the driving disk (4.1) and each rib comprises at least two traction carriers (22) which are orientated in a longitudinal direction of the carrier means. The whole cross-sectional surface of all the traction carriers (22) is at least 25% of the cross-section surface of the carrier means.
