This automatic step for Fiat Ducato models built from 2023 onwards ensures safe, comfortable, and ergonomic access for everyday commercial use. Especially when getting in and out frequently in trade, service, or delivery operations, the height difference is significantly reduced and work safety is noticeably increased.
With a generous step surface measuring 975 x 248 x 45 mm and a load capacity of up to 250 kg, this entry aid offers a stable and durable solution for professional applications.
Why is a step useful for the Fiat Ducato?
The Fiat Ducato is one of the most widely used vans in the commercial sector. Daily loading and unloading as well as frequent entry and exit put strain on the knees, back, and joints. An automatic step significantly reduces the entry height and supports ergonomic working – especially in intensive continuous use.
Electric comfort version or mechanical, door-combined variant?
For the Fiat Ducato, the step is available either as an electric comfort version or as a mechanical, door-combined variant.
-
Electric: Automatic extension and retraction when opening and closing the right-hand sliding door
-
Mechanical: Purely mechanical control via a sturdy door arm – without electrical connection
Both versions are designed for a maximum load of 250 kg and are specially designed for commercial use.
