    Abstract: Elevator systems having a first guide rail and a second guide rail, an overtravel feature on at least one of the first or second guide rails, the overtravel feature located a first distance from a top surface of the respective guide rail, an elevator car moveable along the first and second guide rails, the elevator car including a car guidance element, and a control unit configured to perform an overtravel distance test. The control unit is configured to measure a second distance being a distance of travel of the elevator car between a landing position and a location of the overtravel feature, combine the first distance and the second distance to calculate a measured overtravel distance, and compare the measured overtravel distance with a predetermined overtravel setpoint.

    Abstract: Elevator systems are provided. The elevator systems include an elevator car movable along an elevator shaft having a pit floor and a shaft top, the elevator car having a car door lock arranged to enable opening of doors by a landing door lock mechanism when the elevator car is located at a landing and an elevator safety system. The elevator safety system includes a car door lock securing device arranged to prevent manual opening of the elevator car doors when in a first state and permits opening of the elevator car doors when in a second state and a car apron affixed to the car door sill and operable from a stowed state to a deployed state, wherein when the car apron transitions from the stowed state to the deployed state, the car door lock securing device is transitioned from the first state to the second state.

    Abstract: An elevator position reference system (1) includes a hoistway (4) extending in a vertical direction and a position measurement tape (8) arranged in the hoistway (4) to extend in the vertical direction. An upper tensioning device (10) is connected to an upper end (20) of the position measurement tape (8) so as to apply a tensioning force (30) to the position measurement tape (8) in the upwards vertical direction. A lower tensioning device (12) is connected to a lower end (22) of the position measurement tape (8) so as to apply a tensioning force (32) to the position measurement tape (8) in the downwards vertical direction.
