Comfortable entry thanks to fully automatic swivel function

When the vehicle door is opened, the step extends automatically – controlled by a powerful electric motor. As soon as the door is closed again, it swivels back to its secure starting position in less than two seconds. This automatic function not only increases comfort, but also safety in everyday use.

For additional safety at night, the ETB swivel step is equipped with integrated LED lighting. This ensures that the entry area is always optimally lit and significantly reduces the risk of missteps.

Vehicle-specific variants for common models

The ETB is available in different versions so that it can be perfectly adapted to different vehicle types. For the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, for example, there is a special version with a step width of 550 mm that is mounted directly on the front doors. Here, too, the extension and retraction process is fully automatic – without any manual intervention.

Maximum ground clearance – ideal for off-road and all-wheel drive

A key advantage of the electric swivel step is its compact design. When retracted, it takes up minimal space, allowing for maximum ground clearance. This is an important factor, especially for off-road vehicles and all-wheel drive models, as ground clearance often determines their suitability for use. When extended, the step is at a height that is easy on the joints, making it much easier for older people or those with limited mobility to get in.

Robust, durable, and low-maintenance

The ETB swivel step is designed for durability and reliability. It is suitable for temperatures from -30 °C to +80 °C and has been successfully tested with more than 100,000 movement cycles. In addition, the integrated obstacle detection (auto-stop function) protects against damage to the vehicle and increases safety for users and passers-by.

All necessary components, such as the control unit, vehicle-specific mounting hardware, and cable set, are included in the scope of delivery. Installation is straightforward and can be carried out on many vehicles without major modifications.
