The fully automatic side step from the ESE series, available with a step surface measuring either 600 x 280 or 900 x 280 mm, was developed specifically for the Mercedes Vito and Mercedes V-Class with rear-wheel drive manufactured from 2014 onwards. It is suitable for all wheelbases and offers safe, comfortable access with a low overall height and robust stainless steel construction.
Product description: ESE electric cassette step for Mercedes Vito & V-Class
The electric cassette step from the ESE series is a fully automatic entry aid for vehicles with frequent passenger traffic. It is designed exclusively for rear-wheel drive models and covers all wheelbases of the Mercedes Vito and V-Class.
Thanks to its innovative design, the motor is integrated within the frame, reducing the cassette height and minimising the impact on ground clearance. The robust stainless steel casing reliably protects the mechanics from external influences and ensures a long service life.
The step is designed as standard for the left side of the vehicle. Installation on the right sliding door is possible with modification work, but must be carried out by a vehicle manufacturer.
