Advantages of the rigid rear step for vans

The generous tread area of 1.46 x 1.80 meters offers sufficient space for a safe and comfortable footing. The rigid step makes work much easier, especially when regularly loading and unloading heavy loads. Thanks to the 2- or 4-bolt system, it is compatible with many international trailer couplings, for example models from Rockinger, Bradley, or Dixon. This makes it ideal for vehicle fleets, craft businesses, and transport logistics companies that rely on a reliable and universally applicable system.

Easy installation and integration of parking sensors

The rear step can be installed quickly and easily at the designated points on the trailer coupling. Vehicles with parking sensors benefit from a well-designed solution: the sensors can be easily removed from the bumper and integrated into the step. The scope of delivery includes a cable set with plug connections, which enables a secure extension between the vehicle connection and the sensors. This ensures that the parking sensors remain fully functional – an important safety aspect for all van drivers.

Robust materials for everyday use

The rigid rear step impresses with its solid steel frame, which is coated with a durable finish. The tread is made of a glass fiber-reinforced composite material that is particularly slip-resistant, UV-resistant, and temperature-stable. This makes the step suitable for year-round use – whether in the heat of summer or the frost of winter. Even under heavy use, the surface remains reliable and durable.

Flexible thanks to removable center section

A highlight is the removable center section, which can be removed and reinserted in a matter of seconds. When maneuvering trailers, the resulting 110-degree maneuvering radius ensures maximum freedom of movement. This flexibility makes the rear step a particularly practical solution for transporters that frequently use trailers.

Load capacity and weight

The load capacity of the rigid rear step is 136 kilograms, surpassing many comparable models. Despite its stability, its own weight remains low at 13.5 to 13.8 kilograms. This makes the rear step robust, resilient, and yet easy to handle – a perfect combination for professional use.

Greater safety on the road

The integrated reflective strips provide additional safety. They increase visibility when parking, at dusk, and in traffic, thus minimizing the risk of accidents. The rigid rear step therefore not only meets practical requirements, but also safety-related requirements in everyday van use.

For which vehicles is the rigid rear step suitable – which trailer hitches are compatible and does it work with parking sensors?

The rear step fits many common transporters such as MAN TGE, VW Crafter, Citroën Jumpy, Ford Custom, and others. Thanks to its 2- or 4-bolt mounting, it can be used with numerous international trailer hitches.

The rigid rear step is suitable for 2- and 4-bolt systems and therefore fits couplings from Rockinger, Bradley, Dixon, and many other multi-systems.

Yes, the step is available with or without parking sensors. Existing sensors can be transferred to the step; a cable set with matching plugs is included for extension.

What is the load capacity of the rear step – and how heavy is it?

The maximum load capacity is 136 kg. This makes it more resilient than many comparable rear steps on the market and ensures stable and safe use in everyday work.

Depending on the equipment, the dead weight is between 13.5 and 13.8 kg. This makes the step very light and yet extremely stable.

What material is the rear step made of – and how does it make loading and unloading easier?

The step is made of a solid, coated steel frame. The surface is made of non-slip, glass fiber-reinforced composite material – impact-resistant, UV-resistant, and resistant to temperature differences.

The generous tread compensates for the difference in height between the road and the loading floor. This not only makes loading and unloading more convenient, but also easier on the back and safer.

How does the removable center section work – and how is it useful when maneuvering?

The center section can be removed or replaced in a matter of seconds. This enables a maneuvering radius of up to 110°, which is perfect for comfortable trailer maneuvering.
