They are! They're essentially very primitive elevator systems that are pretty small, though the magic of the Eltos is supposed to power the platforms up to the water. Many of them are various forms of a large, flat board with holes in the corners for bags and containers to be strung through, then powered by an Elto. It's all very non-functional and magic-focused. Most of their examples of travel are focused on going from Point A to Point B on the ground, not up in the air.
