Not necessarily. An hydraulic elevator (as in mining), or a grain elevator would not be pulleys. Nor elevator shoes.

An elevator uses a system of pulleys to move the cab up and down the shaft. It achieves this by connecting the cab to a counterweight through multiple pulleys and cables, allowing for efficient vertical transportation between floors. The pulley system helps to distribute the weight evenly, making it easier to raise and lower the elevator cab.
