Rear steps without trailer hitch - with/without PDC
The rigid AccesStep rear step is the ideal solution for vans without a trailer hitch. It provides greater safety, comfort, and ergonomics when getting in and out of the vehicle on a daily basis, as well as when loading and unloading heavy loads. With its generous tread surface, robust construction, and optional integrated parking sensors, it is ideal for tradespeople, delivery services, and private use in motorhomes.
The rear step is available for numerous popular van models, including Mercedes Sprinter, MAN TGE, Ford Custom, Fiat Scudo, and many other commercial vehicles. Depending on the model, a two-piece version measuring 1.43 x 1.88 meters or a three-piece version measuring 1.61 x 1.88 meters is available. Both versions cover almost the entire rear width and optimally compensate for the height difference between the road and the loading floor.

Comfortable access and safe handling
The AccesStep rear step makes it much easier to access the cargo area and ensures that your back and joints are significantly protected during loading and unloading. The advantage of the non-slip tread is particularly evident in commercial use with frequent access to the rear of the vehicle. The width of the step allows two people to stand securely at the same time.
The rear step can be ordered for vehicles with or without parking sensors. If sensors are already present, they are simply removed from the bumper and integrated directly into the step. A cable set with matching plugs is included in the scope of delivery and serves as an extension between the vehicle connection and the sensors, ensuring that full functionality is maintained.
Construction and load capacity of the AccesStep rear step
The rear step is constructed from a solid, coated steel frame, which ensures high stability. The surface is made of glass fiber-reinforced composite material, which is not only non-slip but also extremely impact-resistant and durable. In addition, the material is UV-resistant and insensitive to large temperature fluctuations – ideal for year-round use in all weather conditions.
The maximum load capacity is 136 kg, which is above the average for many other rear steps. However, the dead weight remains comparatively low: depending on the model, it is between just 13.5 and 13.8 kg. This means that there is hardly any additional load on the vehicle, which benefits fuel consumption and driving performance.

Installation of the rigid rear step is straightforward and is carried out at the existing mounting points on the chassis. No complex adjustments or special tools are required. Thanks to its precise design, the step can be installed quickly and used immediately.
