Stainless steel cassette with reduced height
A key feature of the ESE series is its robust stainless steel casing. This reliably protects the internal components from environmental influences such as moisture, dirt, or road salt.
Thanks to the innovative design, the motor has been positioned inside the frame. This has made it possible to reduce the height of the cassette, which means that the vehicle's ground clearance is only minimally affected. This is a decisive advantage, especially for vehicles used in emergency services or with high mileage.
Ideal for KTW and RTW use
The ESE step is frequently used in KTW and RTW applications. Its stainless steel construction is particularly resistant to aggressive environmental influences, such as regular contact with liquid salt during winter operation.
- Stainless steel cassette reliably protects the mechanics
- Anti-slip coating for a secure footing
- Step depth 280 mm
- Ideal for extreme weather conditions
Safety and comfort features
The electric step comes with the following as standard:
- Integrated obstacle detection (autostop)
- Vehicle-specific installation kit
- Warning light
- Cable set
- Door contact switch
The step extends and retracts automatically as soon as the door is opened or closed. This ensures maximum user-friendliness in everyday use.
