The fully automatic side step from the ESE series is a reliable entry solution for professional use on Mercedes Sprinters. It was developed for vehicles with high frequency of use and impresses with its robust stainless steel cassette, low height, and safe and comfortable entry aid for everyday use.
Product description: ESE electric cassette step for Sprinter
The ESE electric cassette step is suitable for Mercedes Sprinters built from 2006 onwards (series type 906 from 2006 and type 907 from 2018) and for VW Crafters built from 2006 to 02/2017. It is only suitable for vehicles with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Thanks to the innovative design principle, the motor is integrated within the frame. This reduces the cassette height and minimizes the impact on ground clearance. The robust stainless steel casing reliably protects the mechanics from dirt, splash water, and road salt and ensures a long service life – even with intensive use.
