ELEVATOR AND METHOD OF INSTALLING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily carry in and install an elevator apparatus preliminarily assembled in a factory by loading, on a receiving member provided in the upper part of an elevator shaft, a support member having a hoist set thereon and a machine room wall member for forming a machine room so as to enclose the hoist. SOLUTION: A hoisting machine 14, an elevator control board 21, a deflector wheel 25, and a machine room wall member 30a are preliminarily loaded on a support member 20 in a factory or the like to assemble a machine room integrated elevator product 46, and the machine room integrated elevator product 46 is carried to a construction site. The machine room integrated elevator product 46 is lifted up by a tower crane 41 or the like through a slinging wire 40, the support member 21 is placed on receiving members 18a, 18b in the upper part of an elevator shaft 1, and the whole body is retained. Since the machine room integrated elevator product 46 is loaded and supported so that the support member 20 is located on the receiving members 18a, 18b formed in the upper part of the elevator shaft 1, a machine room 30 can be constructed in the upper part of the elevator shaft 1 simultaneously with the set of the machine room integrated elevator product 46 preliminarily manufactured in the factory.
