A particular advantage: depending on the model, the step extends across the entire width of the vehicle and can be easily pushed under the rear after use. This means that the trailer coupling remains fully usable and the vehicle length does not change – so there is no need to enter it in the vehicle documents.
Advantages & possible uses of the extendable rear steps
With a load capacity of up to 200 kg, the rear steps are particularly stable and ideal for professional use in everyday business. The generous tread surface allows you to step securely with your entire foot. This reduces physical strain and makes loading and unloading noticeably easier on the back. For tradespeople, delivery services, or couriers, the steps are therefore an indispensable aid that makes work easier.
Another plus point is their ease of use: the step is extended with a slight lift of the foot and locks automatically. After use, it is pushed back in and securely fixed in the parking position. This uncomplicated handling saves valuable time and ensures greater safety in everyday work.
