Abstract
An elevator system has an elevator car that can travel vertically along a vertical track including a stationary vertical guide rail, and that can travel horizontally by a car transfer device. The car transfer device has a horizontal displacement unit with a vertical guide rail piece that guides the elevator car in the horizontal displacement unit, the horizontal displacement unit being movable into a transit position in which the guide rail piece and the stationary vertical guide rail together form a section of the vertical track. The elevator system has a connecting device by which, in the transit position of the horizontal displacement unit, the vertical guide rail piece can be connected to the stationary vertical guide rail, wherein, when connected by the connecting device, the vertical guide rail piece cannot be displaced in the horizontal direction with respect to the stationary vertical guide rail.
