Vehicles with a high step-in height often pose a challenge in everyday life. Whether in motorhomes when traveling, in everyday work or in transport vehicles - getting in and out takes effort and poses a risk of accidents. The electric swivel step ETB offers a modern solution that optimally combines safety, comfort and reliability and makes getting in and out much easier for everyone.

Comfortable and safe – thanks to fully automatic swivel function

The ETB swivel step extends automatically as soon as the vehicle door is opened and swivels back in less than two seconds when it is closed. This fully automatic function ensures that entry is effortless and no manual intervention is required. This saves time and reduces strain on the joints, especially when getting in and out frequently.

The non-slip surface ensures a secure grip in all weathers. With a load capacity of up to 240 kg, the step is ideal for both private use and intensive commercial use. In addition, the integrated LED lighting ensures optimum visibility even at night or in poor lighting conditions and significantly increases safety.

Vehicle-specific retrofitting – simple and practical

The ETB is available for a wide range of popular van and motorhome models. It is particularly frequently retrofitted for:

  • Mercedes Sprinter
  • VW Crafter
  • Ford Transit
  • Iveco Daily
  • MAN TGE
  • Fiat Ducato
  • Fitting is straightforward thanks to vehicle-specific variants. All necessary parts, including control unit, cable set and fastening material, are included in the scope of delivery. This means that the ETB can often be installed without any major modifications.

    The simple retrofitting makes it particularly attractive for vehicle owners who do not want to carry out complex conversions, but still want to benefit from a modern and convenient entry aid.

    Maximum ground clearance – ideal for off-road and all-wheel drive

    A decisive advantage of the ETB is its compact design. When retracted, it requires only minimal space and maintains the vehicle's full ground clearance. Off-road and four-wheel drive drivers benefit in particular, as every centimeter counts on uneven terrain. The ETB thus enables even demanding off-road driving without the step impairing driveability.

    When extended, the step provides an ergonomic access height that also makes it much easier for older people or people with limited mobility to get in and out of the vehicle. This joint-friendly height is a clear advantage, especially in everyday life and on long journeys.

    Technology that impresses

    The ETB swivel step was developed for long-term and intensive use. It has been tested for over 100,000 movement cycles and works reliably at temperatures from 30 °C to +80 °C. The robust design ensures that the stage works reliably even under extreme conditions. Whether it's winter cold, intense heat or dusty terrain - the ETB offers lasting comfort and safety.

    An integrated LED strip ensures that the entrance area is well illuminated even in the dark. The built-in obstacle detection (auto-stop function) protects the vehicle as well as users and passers-by from damage and injury.

    Technical data at a glance

    The electric swivel step ETB is available in various step widths from 550 mm to 1310 mm, depending on the model. The step depth is 160 mm and provides sufficient tread area. With a maximum load capacity of 240 kg, the step is ideal for both private and commercial applications. The extension time is around 2 seconds, ensuring quick and convenient access.

    Made from corrosion-resistant steel, the ETB is particularly durable and robust. The integrated LED lighting ensures safety at night. Thanks to the wide temperature range from -30°C to +80°C, the step works reliably in almost all climatic conditions. The obstacle detection (auto-stop function) also protects against damage to the vehicle or danger to passers-by.

    Applications in everyday life

    The ETB swivel step is suitable for many application scenarios: Motorhome owners benefit from a more comfortable entry during camping trips or stopovers, tradespeople and delivery services save time and energy every day when getting in and out of the vehicle frequently, and off-road enthusiasts enjoy the full ground clearance and flexibility of their vehicle. The step even makes work considerably easier when loading and unloading luggage or goods.

    Care and maintenance

    The step is low-maintenance. Regular removal of dirt and dust as well as light lubrication of the moving parts is enough to ensure long-term reliable use of the ETB. The robust design ensures that the step continues to function reliably even after years of intensive use.

    Conclusion: More comfort and safety when entering the vehicle

    Whether for everyday use, traveling or off-road use, the electric swivel step ETB is a well thought-out retrofit solution that combines comfort, safety and durability. Anyone who gets in and out of the car frequently will immediately notice the difference. It is an investment in safety, comfort and efficiency - for both private and commercial users.
