Advantages of rigid rear steps

Rigid rear steps offer numerous advantages that make them the first choice for many businesses:

  • Ergonomic working: Lower entry heights make loading and unloading easier and reduce strain on joints and the back.
  • Non-slip surface: Wide treads with a non-slip surface (UVV-compliant) ensure a secure footing in all weather conditions.
  • Robust material selection: Made entirely of hot-dip galvanized steel – optimal corrosion protection and long service life.
  • High load capacity: Designed for daily, heavy-duty use and reliable support of heavy loads.
  • Easy installation: Vehicle-specific brackets allow attachment to existing mounting points on the chassis – without welding or special tools.
  • Can be combined with a trailer hitch: Many models are available in versions that can be combined with a trailer hitch.

Suitable for numerous van models

Our rigid rear steps are available for a wide range of vans, including: Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Ford Transit, MAN TGE, Fiat Ducato, Renault Master, Citroën Jumper, and many other panel van models. We offer the right vehicle-specific solution for almost every commercial vehicle.

Quick, vehicle-specific installation

Installation is carried out using vehicle-specific brackets that are attached to the existing mounting points on the chassis. This means that no costly modifications are necessary – the step can be fitted quickly and cleanly. This approach saves time and money during retrofitting and makes the solution attractive for smaller businesses too.

Safety and comfort in everyday work

In addition to their pure function as an entry aid, rigid rear steps make a decisive contribution to occupational safety. The non-slip tread minimizes the risk of falls, and the generous tread area allows for a secure footing even when handling bulky or heavy goods. This reduces the strain on employees and lowers the risk of injury in daily use.
