An actively controllable suspension arrangement positions a car in an elevator system, the car being suspended by a suspension traction apparatus and displaceable within an elevator shaft by a drive. The suspension arrangement includes a carrier assembly having at least one fixator attaching the suspension traction apparatus to the carrier assembly, a displacement assembly for displacing the carrier assembly a load direction of the car, a position determination assembly indicating a real position of the car, and a controller controlling operation of the displacement assembly based on measurement signals from the position determination assembly. The suspension arrangement can be used for actively controlling and influencing a positioning and/or a motion of the car in order to perform e.g. a fast re-leveling of the car during stops and/or to compensate unintended speed variations of the car resulting e.g. from a yo-yo effect, seismic effect or similar effects.
