Folding Steps

A folding step hinges down from its mounted position when in use and folds back up flush against the vehicle when not needed. This makes it well suited to applications where ground clearance is important and the step needs to be kept out of the way during transit.

A stirrup step is a fixed loop or bar-style step that provides a single foothold for stepping up into or down from a vehicle. Stirrup steps are robust and simple, with no moving parts, making them a practical choice for frequent-use entry points.

A recessed step sits set into the vehicle bodywork rather than protruding from it, keeping the step completely flush during transit. This is useful where body profile clearance is critical.

Stedall stocks all three types within the folding steps range.

Stedall’s stirrup steps are constructed from 2mm steel. For material specifications on the folding steps and recessed step, contact Stedall directly on 01454 319524 or at sales@stedall.co.uk before ordering.

The right step depends on three factors: available mounting space, frequency of use, and whether the step needs to be fully out of the way during transit.

Where ground clearance or body profile is a priority, a recessed or fold-down step removes any protrusion when the vehicle is moving. For high-frequency entry points where simplicity and durability are the priority, a stirrup step requires no deployment and has no moving parts to maintain. Where a full step platform is needed, the folding step range offers options at different price points to suit the application.

If you are unsure which type best suits your vehicle, contact Stedall on 01454 319524 or at sales@stedall.co.uk with details of your mounting position and application.
