Rigid side step

The ST series of rigid side steps are a proven and practical solution for anyone who needs safe, comfortable, and permanently reliable access to transporters, vans, and minibuses. They have been specifically developed for professional continuous use and are used wherever vehicles are used on a daily basis—for example, in trade, service, delivery, or passenger transport.

Thanks to their sturdy construction, high-quality materials, and maintenance-free design, ST steps offer a durable entry aid that makes everyday work easier while significantly increasing safety when getting in and out of the vehicle.

Rigid side steps for professional continuous use

The ST step is designed as a rigid, side-mounted entry solution and is permanently bolted to the vehicle. Unlike folding or electrically operated systems, it is ready for use at any time without delay. There are no moving parts, no electrical components, and no sensors, which makes the design particularly robust and trouble-free.

The advantage of this design is particularly evident in daily use with frequent entry and exit: the step functions reliably regardless of external influences and remains permanently stable.

A key advantage of the ST series is that it is completely maintenance-free. As there are no mechanical or electrical components, there is no additional maintenance, repair, or adjustment required. This makes the step ideal for vehicles that need to be ready for use without interruption.

Safe and comfortable entry in everyday working life

Safe entry plays a crucial role in commercial vehicles – especially with increased entry heights or frequent vehicle changes. The ST steps reliably support drivers, co-drivers, and passengers every time they get in and contribute to a more ergonomic workflow.

Non-slip surface for maximum safety

The tread surface of the ST series is equipped with a slip-resistant surface. This ensures a secure grip even in rain, snow, dirt, or with wet footwear. Especially in everyday commercial use, this significantly reduces the risk of slips and missteps.

The stable standing surface makes getting in and out more controlled and even, which is a noticeable comfort gain, especially when getting in and out frequently.

High-quality materials and durable workmanship

ST side steps are designed for heavy loads and are made of resistant materials that meet the requirements of professional use.

The steps are made of galvanized steel as standard. This design offers reliable protection against corrosion and is ideal for use in changing weather conditions. Moisture, dirt, and road salt cannot damage the surface in the long term.

Many models are also available in stainless steel as an option. This version impresses with its particularly durable surface and high-quality appearance and is ideal for users with increased demands on material and appearance.

High load capacity and practical dimensions

The ST side steps are designed for daily use in commercial environments and offer high load-bearing capacity. With a load capacity of up to 150 kg, there are sufficient safety reserves available – even with heavy footwear or additional equipment.

The step depth of 220 mm allows for a stable and comfortable footing. At the same time, the vehicle widening remains comparatively small at around 120 mm (depending on the vehicle model). This means that the vehicle remains suitable for everyday use and the additional width has little effect on handling or use in road traffic.

Various designs for optimal vehicle coverage

ST steps are available in various widths to optimally adapt to different vehicle lengths and door openings. This allows the step surface to extend across the entire door opening, which is particularly advantageous for sliding doors or frequent side entry.

The continuous design ensures that entry is supported evenly at every position and that a secure step is always possible, regardless of the standing position.

Installation, registration, and legal information

The installation of the side ST steps is practical and workshop-friendly. Depending on the vehicle type and the design of the step, installation usually takes about one hour.

For many – but not all – ST steps, a parts certificate is included in the scope of delivery. This enables uncomplicated registration with a testing organization. As the scope of delivery depends on the model, you should check before purchasing whether a certificate is included or whether individual approval is required.

Conclusion: Maintenance-free entry solution for transporters, vans, and minibuses

The rigid side steps of the ST series stand for reliability, safety, and durability. They are maintenance-free, highly resilient, and ready for use at any time. Thanks to their non-slip surface, practical dimensions, and robust materials, they are ideal for professional continuous use.

Whether in trade, service, or transport, ST steps offer a well-designed entry solution that makes everyday work noticeably easier and impresses in the long term.
