An elevator car (2, 2'), comprising:a first safety brake (8, 8'), comprising a first electronic safety actuator (512, 612), wherein the first safety brake (8, 8') is positioned on a first side of the elevator car (2, 2') at a first height (20, 20'); anda second safety brake (10, 10'), comprising a second electronic safety actuator (512, 612), wherein the second safety brake (10, 10') is positioned on a second side of the elevator car (2, 2') at a second height (22, 22');wherein the first height is different to the second height. By providing two safety brakes which both include electronic safety actuators, it is possible for the brakes to be actuated together (i.e., synchronised) without requiring any mechanical linkage between the two safety brakes. Since no mechanical linkage is required, the safety brakes no longer need to be located at the top or the bottom of the elevator car (i.e. above or below the cabin). This allows the safeties to be located at a greater range of heights on the elevator car, since they are not limited to being positioned only at the top or bottom of the elevator car. Moreover, locating each of the safety brakes at different (i.e. asymmetrical) heights, gives greater versatility and convenience to other design factors
