A counterweight guiding arrangement for an elevator, comprising at least one guide rail, at least one roller guide configured to move along the guide rail, the guide rail comprising two lateral portions defining a guide groove therebetween, the guide groove extending in the direction of the roller guide movement, the roller guide comprising a guide frame constructed from one piece and at least two roller wheels attached to the guide frame, each of the roller wheels having a plane of rotation, wherein - each of the roller wheels is configured to move along a guide groove-facing surface of one of said lateral portions, so that each said guide groove-facing surface has at least one roller wheel configured to move thereon; - there are at least two planes of rotation of the roller wheels, the planes of rotation being at an angle to each other; - the projections of the roller wheels on a plane perpendicular to the direction of the roller guide movement overlap at least partially; characterized in that - the guide frame comprises two wing-like portions whose surfaces are substantially in the same plane and wherein the wing-like portions comprise installation means attaching the roller guide to the counterweight; - the wing-like portions are connected by a partially asymmetrical central portion having a first part and a second part, the first part being a substantially flat metal piece comprising fastening means for a first roller wheel, the second part being a continuation of the first part, but being bent sideways in respect to the direction of the roller guide movement relative to the first part, the second part comprising a second fastening means for a second roller wheel, and the extent to which the second part is bent relative to the first part is determining the angle between the planes of rotation for the two roller wheels. - each of the roller wheels is configured to move along a guide groove-facing surface of one of said lateral portions, so that each said guide groove-facing surface has at least one roller wheel configured to move thereon; - there are at least two planes of rotation of the roller wheels, the planes of rotation being at an angle to each other; - the projections of the roller wheels on a plane perpendicular to the direction of the roller guide movement overlap at least partially; characterized in that - the guide frame comprises two wing-like portions whose surfaces are substantially in the same plane and wherein the wing-like portions comprise installation means attaching the roller guide to the counterweight; - the wing-like portions are connected by a partially asymmetrical central portion having a first part and a second part, the first part being a substantially flat metal piece comprising fastening means for a first roller wheel, the second part being a continuation of the first part, but being bent sideways in respect to the direction of the roller guide movement relative to the first part, the second part comprising a second fastening means for a second roller wheel, and the extent to which the second part is bent relative to the first part is determining the angle between the planes of rotation for the two roller wheels.
