Rear steps with collision protection

The shock-absorbing rear step with integrated impact protection is the smart solution if you want to protect your van reliably and make your everyday work easier at the same time. Whether loading and unloading with a forklift, getting in and out frequently, or reversing into tight parking spaces, the Impact rear step from Rhino offers maximum safety and stability.

Commercially used vans such as the Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Fiat Ducato, Renault Master, Ford Transit, or MAN TGE are exposed to high stresses on a daily basis. Minor bumps or loading damage to the rear bumper can happen quickly and cause unnecessary repair costs. With the shock-absorbing rear step, you can prevent this damage and benefit from a durable, robust entry aid.

A typical problem: when loading with a forklift, the forks or pallets accidentally bump against the rear bumper. Over time, this leads to deformation or expensive repairs. The Impact rear step reliably absorbs these stresses thanks to its integrated shock absorber system.

The spring-loaded step also protects the vehicle body in road traffic or when maneuvering into tight parking spaces. Minor collision damage, which would immediately leave visible scratches or dents without protection, is effectively cushioned. This keeps your van in optimal condition for longer – a clear advantage for tradespeople, delivery services, care services, and fleet operators.

Robust, durable, and designed for maximum load

The shock-absorbing rear step impresses with its high-quality material combination:

  • The base carrier and surface are made of 3.0 mm thick aluminum
  • Side end caps made of glass fiber-reinforced plastic – impact-resistant, UV-resistant, temperature-stable
  • Shock absorbers made of natural rubber with a Shore hardness of 70 effectively absorb impact forces

Thanks to this design, the Impact step is not only extremely resilient, but also durable and low-maintenance. The maximum load capacity of 136 kg ensures safe and comfortable access – even with heavy equipment or tools.

Functional details for greater safety

  • Reflective strips increase visibility in the dark and in traffic
  • Option for vehicles with and without parking sensors – sensors can be easily integrated into the step
  • Lightweight at only approx. 14.5 to 14.9 kg – easy to install
  • Spare parts available – shock absorbers and mounting screws can be reordered separately

These well-thought-out details make the Impact rear step an ideal solution for businesses, fleet operators, and private users with high safety and functionality requirements.

Frequently asked questions about the shock-absorbing rear step with collision protection

Would you like to avoid damage to your van and make loading and unloading easier at the same time? In our FAQ, we answer the most important questions about the Impact rear step with shock absorption and collision protection.

What are the advantages of the shock-absorbing rear step – and does it increase road safety?

The Impact rear step protects against loading and collision damage, makes it easier to get in and reduces repair costs. It combines collision protection with an ergonomic tread.

Yes, reflective strips on the step increase visibility in traffic and when parking. This significantly reduces rear-end collisions and damage to the vehicle.

For which vehicles is the Impact rear step available – and can it be combined with parking sensors?

It is available for many vans such as the Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Fiat Ducato, Renault Master, Ford Transit, MAN TGE, and others. Vehicle-specific adapters ensure a perfect fit.

Yes, the step is available for vehicles with and without parking sensors. Existing sensors can be integrated into the step. A cable set for extension is included in the scope of delivery.

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

The maximum load capacity is 136 kg. This makes it more stable than many other rear steps and ideal for commercial use.

Depending on the equipment, the step weighs between 14.5 and 14.9 kg. This makes it light enough for easy installation, yet extremely robust.

What materials is the Impact rear step made of – and how does the impact protection work?

The base support and surface are made of 3.0 mm aluminum. The end caps are made of glass fiber-reinforced plastic, and the shock absorbers are made of natural rubber.

In the event of an impact, the natural rubber shock absorbers absorb the energy. This reliably prevents damage to the rear bumper. After an impact, the screws should be checked and replaced if necessary.

How long does it take to install the Impact rear step, and are replacement parts available?

Installation can be carried out in a short time, as vehicle-specific adapters and a complete cable set are included. No special tools are required.

Yes, we offer spare parts such as shock absorbers and the necessary screws (e.g., part number SK206) separately. This ensures that the step remains functional and reliable for a long time.
