Simply activated by pushing the tread edge in a small distance with your foot and releasing, Stayco's WM450 manual cassette step is deployed by a damped gas spring. Once deployed, the tread is automatically locked in that position by a patented catch system which is activated by the weight of the person standing on the tread. The step is simply stowed by pushing the tread fully in by foot. There are no vulnerable release pedals required to operate the step.
