Stainless steel cassette with reduced height
The ESEK series features a robust stainless steel casing that reliably protects the mechanics from moisture, dirt, and road salt. This is a decisive advantage, especially for vehicles in year-round use or in public service and emergency response.
The motor has been integrated into the frame. This has reduced the height of the cassette, which has only a minimal impact on the ground clearance of the Opel Vivaro.
Ideal for shuttle, government, and emergency services
The ESEK step is frequently used in the KTW and RTW sectors. Shuttle vehicles, VIP transfers, and commercial vehicles also benefit from the automatic extension and retraction function and the robust design.
