    Abstract: An exemplary elevator system includes an elevator car having an integrated cabin and car frame structure including a platform thickness between a floor surface in the cabin and a lowermost surface on a support beam used for supporting the car beneath the floor surface. A sheave assembly is supported beneath the floor surface. The sheave assembly includes a plurality of sheaves and a plurality of subframe beams. The sheaves and subframe beams fit within the platform thickness such that the subframe beams and the sheaves are no lower than the lowermost surface on the support beam. A plurality of isolation members are between the sheave assembly and the elevator car for isolating an interior of the cabin from vibrations associated with movement of the sheaves.

    Abstract: An assembly for controlling a vertically extending member includes a device having a stop member and a speed control member for controlling movement of the vertically extending member such as an elevator load bearing member during a roping procedure. In a disclosed example, the stop member is biased into a stop position where the vertically extending member is locked between a brake pad and a guiding member so that the vertically extending member cannot move relative to the device. An example input member for moving the stop member out of the stop position comprises a foot pedal that can be manipulated to control a position of the stop member. Absent manual manipulation of the input member, the stop member prevents movement of the vertically extending member. In a disclosed example, a speed control member comprises a pad that selectively engages a vertically extending member responsive to manual manipulation of a handle for moving the pad relative to a base of the device.
