To provide a small elevator, particularly a home elevator, expanding the structural compatibility in any environment in a building, having an orthogonal turn alighting/boarding system allowing a wheelchair to be used in the home elevator for rationalization at low cost as a preferential factor for development and popularization, having a well bucket system suppressing the height of an upper drive tower, and excluding troubles such as the breaking of ropes and the confinement at a power stoppage.

The employment of a manual action rotary floor system allows a wheelchair user to get on or off via an orthogonal turn or from three faces. The employment of a push-up type upper drive system with two series ropes excludes confinement and a drop. This home elevator employs a destination story safely grounding system for short-time backup with a battery DC motor at a power stoppage.
