External Under-Floor Mounted Steps

Stayco's successful range of externally under-floor mounted steps are available in either cassette or frame form. Cassette type steps enclose most of the tread and step workings in a protective case when stowed. They operate like the disc drawer on a CD player. Frame type steps have one or more treads attached to pivoting links or frames. They generally do not enclose the tread when stowed. Frame steps are simpler to maintain than cassette types and are more tolerant of dirt. However, the shape of their frames makes it difficult to fit them to the smaller van ranges. Externally mounted steps may not be suitable for certain vehicles that have very low sill heights, and a step well is required if a single-tread under-floor mounted step is to be fitted to a vehicle with a higher floor.
