A traction rope adjustment apparatus includes a traction rope pressing device, and a traction rope pulley apparatus. The traction rope lifting apparatus prevents the traction rope sagging, the traction rope pressing apparatus prevents the traction rope drifting, and the traction rope pulley apparatus enables a car and the counterweight to smoothly pass through the traction rope pressing apparatus, thereby implementing forced guidance of the traction rope and the reliable and smooth running of the car and counterweight. The apparatus can meet the demands of variable gradients and can implement reliable running of an inclined running container in variable gradients, such that the traction rope adapts to the different gradients, solving the challenge of the development of an inclined running container that self-adapts to gradients.
