In many cases, the elevator car is lifted and lowered via cables. Those cables are wound and unwound on a "spool" as the car goes up and down, or run through pulleys to a counterweight. Whether a spool or pulleys, they may be considered "wheels", and they are mounted onto a shaft that would serve as an axle.
