About our Side Steps
So how do our side steps work.....
Our side steps are powered by 12V electric motors on each side. Their deployment is activated by the vehicle remote control, or by opening any of the doors. Only the step on the side that the door is opened is a deployed. Deployment time is approximately 1.25 seconds.
The steps are manufactured using aluminium and the hinges are cast in steel. Most of our steps function using 3 hinges on either side. This facilitates the even spread of loads of up to 300kg across the length of the steps. Installation is simple and generally requires no drilling to mount the brackets that carry the hinges. The electrical components are all "plug and play" (*some exceptions) making it simple. The motors have an IP68 rating ensuring their operation in wet conditions.
The steps have their own stand alone control module giving them their "smart" capabilities. Key to their safe operation is an anti-pinch function which prevents the steps from closing on objects caught between the step and the vehicle bodywork.
All of our steps are backed by a 2 year warranty.
