Elevator Program in Campgrounds

How are campgrounds in Wisconsin affected by the Elevator Program?

Only commercial type conveyances may be installed in campground structures covered by the commercial building code and common areas of a campground. A conveyance shared by two or more one- or two-family dwellings is considered to be in a common area therefore must be a commercial type conveyance. 

These conveyances include typical passenger or freight elevators, outdoor inclined elevators (often called "trams"), limited use/limited application (LULA) elevators, escalators and moving walks, dumbwaiters, type B material lifts, vertical platform lifts, inclined platform lifts and stairway chair lifts. 

One- and two-family dwellings covered by the uniform dwelling code in campgrounds may utilize either commercial type conveyances or residential type conveyances.
