GONDOLA DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gondola device enabling a working floor to be stabilized by raising a lifting point when used, enabling the pull-in to be facilitated and the size to be reduced by lowering the lifting point when stored, and preventing the working floor from being tilted even if the position of the lifting point is changed. SOLUTION: A fixed frame is attached to the working floor of the gondola device along the lifting direction. The lower end of a suspension rope is fixed to the fixed frame through a lifting point support member at the top end of a lifting frame by a lifting and extension mechanism in which a lifting frame having a lifting point support member for defining a lifting point is extendably connected to the fixed frame. The lifting frame is extended and retracted by the lifting mechanism to change the lifting point of the working floor without changing the lifting position of the working floor. Consequently, the working floor can be stabilized when used by raising the lifting point, and the pull-in from a parapet can be facilitated and the size can be reduced by lowering the lifting point when stored.
