Rear steps and side steps for vans: comfort and safety when getting in and out

Rear steps and side steps on sliding doors are the perfect solution for making it easier to get in and out of and load and unload vans, motorhomes, and SUVs. These steps provide ergonomic relief for joints and ligaments, especially in passenger and goods transport, by making it much easier to get in and minimizing the risk of injury.

Electric and manual side steps for sliding doors

Our side steps are available in different versions: electric, mechanical, or manually extendable. Particularly popular are the fully automatic steps, which extend automatically when the sliding door is opened, at the touch of a button, or with a kick. They ensure quick, safe, and comfortable entry without having to bend down or make any additional movements.

Electric steps for sliding doors:
The cassette steps and swivel steps offer high load capacity and reliability. Our SCE series in particular can withstand loads of up to 500 kg and is often used in extreme conditions, such as those required in the military. The cassette protects the step from dirt and weather influences.

The E1 cassette step is a German quality product equipped with LED lighting that makes getting in safer in the dark. With a slip resistance rating of R13 according to DIN 75078-1, a duplex coating, CE marking, and ECE-R10 certification, this step offers exceptional durability and resistance to chemicals such as oil and brake fluid. It is also UV-resistant, temperature-stable, and tested for 1,000,000 steps.

ETB swivel step – the highlight for tall vehicles

The ETB swivel step is a fully automatic step that has been specially developed for high vehicles such as Mercedes Sprinters, VW Crafters, or motorhomes based on panel vans. The step swivels downwards, providing an ergonomic entry height that is easy on the joints and back. With the additional LED lighting, the step area is optimally illuminated even in the dark, reducing the risk of injury.

Extendable and rigid rear steps for vans

For Sprinter-class vehicles, we offer extendable rear steps that can be used in conjunction with many trailer couplings. When not in use, the step can be easily pushed under the vehicle. A rigid rear step is a cost-effective alternative. It is hot-dip galvanized and suitable for easy access to large vehicles without a trailer coupling. However, it cannot be used in conjunction with trailer couplings.

Registration and operating license
The installation of a step does not invalidate the operating license in accordance with § 19.2 StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations), and no additional approval/registration in accordance with § 21 StVZO is required. According to EC Regulation 661/2009, steps at the rear of the vehicle are not included in the vehicle length when measuring. Side-retractable steps may also be excluded from the measurement of the vehicle width in accordance with EC Directive 97/27.

For our rigid steps in the ST series (non-retractable), either a parts certificate is supplied or individual approval is required, as the vehicle width changes.

Frequently asked questions about steps for vans and motorhomes

Whether for daily use in trade, care services, delivery services, or when converting to a motorhome – steps make it easier to get in and increase safety. Here we answer the most important questions about electric, mechanical, and rigid entry aids for vehicles such as Sprinter, Crafter, Ducato, and others.

What types of steps are available for vans?

There are electric steps that extend automatically when the sliding door is opened, manually or mechanically operated versions, and rigid rear steps. You can choose the right solution depending on the intended use and vehicle model.

For which vehicles are the steps suitable?

Our steps are suitable for common vans and motorhomes such as Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, MAN TGE, Fiat Ducato, Ford Transit, and Renault Master. Many models are developed specifically for individual vehicles and are prepared for precise installation.

What is the load capacity of the steps?

Depending on the model, our steps can carry up to 500 kg. The electric cassette steps and ETB swivel steps in particular are designed for high loads in professional use.

Do I need to have them entered in the vehicle documents?

Usually not: the installation of steps does not invalidate the operating license. According to EC Regulation 661/2009 and EC Directive 97/27, steps are not taken into account when measuring the length or width of a vehicle. However, individual approval may be required for rigid models with width adjustment.

What additional functions do modern steps offer?

Many of our steps are equipped with LED lighting, offer slip resistance in accordance with DIN 75078-1, and are resistant to oil, brake fluid, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures. This makes them suitable for intensive everyday use.

Are electric steps maintenance-intensive?

No, modern electric steps are robustly constructed and require only minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of the moving parts is sufficient to ensure a long service life.

Can I retrofit steps to leased vehicles?

Yes, many of our models can be installed without making any permanent changes to the vehicle. Clamp systems or screw-mounted versions are particularly ideal for leased vehicles, as they can be removed without leaving any residue when the vehicle is returned.

What are the advantages of cassette steps over rigid models?

Cassette steps are protected when installed and extend when needed. This provides better protection against dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. Rigid steps, on the other hand, are less expensive but can reduce ground clearance.
