The automatic step for Renault Trafic L2 models built from 2016 onwards was developed specifically for vehicles with a long wheelbase and ensures safe, ergonomic access for everyday commercial use. It significantly reduces the height difference, particularly in the longer L2 model with a higher body, making it ideal for tradespeople, service vehicles, and delivery services.
With a generous step surface measuring 975 x 248 x 45 mm and a load capacity of up to 250 kg, this entry solution is designed for professional continuous use. Robustly constructed, durable, and optimally tailored to the Renault Trafic L2.
Why a step for the Renault Trafic L2?
It significantly reduces the entry height, improves sure-footedness, and relieves strain on the knees and back during frequent entry and exit – with a load capacity of 250 kg and a choice of electric or mechanical versions.
Especially in vehicles with a long wheelbase, daily stops quickly add up. An ergonomic entry aid increases comfort, safety, and efficiency in the long term.
The Renault Trafic L2H1 from 2016 offers more cargo space – but also means a higher entry edge. An automatic step significantly reduces the strain on joints and back and minimizes the risk of missteps in rain or poor lighting conditions.
Electric or mechanical version – which one suits your application?
For the Renault Trafic L2, the step is available either as an electric comfort version or as a mechanical, door-coupled variant.
-
Electric: automatic extension and retraction when opening and closing the right-hand sliding door
-
Mechanical: purely mechanical control via a sturdy door arm – no electrical connection
Both versions are designed for a load capacity of up to 250 kg and are intended for continuous commercial use.
