Abstract
A rope lifting tool for belt-shaped ropes provided with an uneven surface pattern on one or both of its opposing wide sides, includes a first guide for guiding the rope lifting tool along a first guide rail; a second guide for guiding the rope lifting tool along a second guide rail; an upright plate, and an inclined plate at an acute angle relative to the upright plate, the upright plate and the inclined plate having a wedge shaped space between them; and a plurality of wedge members placed adjacent each other inside the wedge-shaped space. A rope gap for receiving an end of a belt-shaped rope is formed between each wedge member and the upright plate, which rope gap is narrowable by wedging of the wedge member in the wedge shaped space. A rope lifting arrangement includes the rope lifting tool. Each rope gap is delimited by a vertical face of a wedge member and a vertical face of the upright plate or a vertical face of a liner attached thereon, and the vertical face of the wedge member and/or the vertical face of the liner is provided with an uneven surface pattern forming a counterpart for the uneven surface pattern of the belt-shaped rope.
