Say you are high centered or stuck in some mud and you get out of your truck. Would the steps still try and force their way down? Would they break?

I agree with Kevin and Brett; at a certain current the motor will stop. I expect it will reverse if it's stopped at other than the down position. Has anyone had an operational problem? Mine normally work; but sometimes, if the passenger door is opened first, the driver side won't come down.

Hi Tony, They will still try to come down but I don't think they would ever break. I never have been in that problem but they are well made.

These motors are designed to stop with a certain amount of force applied in the opposite direction of travel.this is how they normally operate to know the full length of travel and why these need to be installed without any binding before the motors are installed. So if you were high centered they would just stop when they contact the ground.

No the steps will automatically go back up. But if you know your going to be off-roading you can pull the fuse out for the steps. Hope this helps

The cane I received was in good shape and very solid. With that being said, as with anything that rigid, if it hit a concrete step or something similar, the possibility is there that it could break.

I would have to say no. The helper would be holding on from above using the push rail. You would be bending over as the chair moved down the stairs and if you lost your grip the person in the chair could be severely injury or killed. The wheel locks are not strong enough to slow the chair down in that situation. Sorry.

Yes.the break has never given me any problems. Used it numerous times going downhill in my drive way. Glad i had it. Have used walker 2 months and breaks still fine. Now in a walking boot. Would recommend you get walker with breaks.

The clip is very strong but at the same time I'm using a inverted step when traveling. So the short answer is I would not use it on a retractable step if you hit a pig bump it may pop out.

It's not supposed to drop off steps. I watched a video on YouTube that showed it backing up when it encountered a stairway.

If the pickup truck has a tailgate - I don't think the step will work. Unless the trailer hitch stuck way out from the back, when the tailgate is open, it would block the dog from jumping up into the truck. If you want it for you to step on to climb up over the tailgate - that could work.

possible. if you haul items that fit inside the bed, and extend to or pass the tailgate such as plywood, then no problem. jus lay the plywood over the ladder and be on your way.

I have 39" to my truck deck, the 4 step is very slightly just too small but works ok for me, when the steps are down the treads are slightly off level but I'm used to it now. I looked at the additional step which you would probably need, but decided against it, as said I manage fine, and the steps are still super stable even being off level. The step bracket can be face mounted or flat deck mounted as mine are, they come with a fair bit of fixing hardware, great product.

Highly unlikely. I cant see the designers setting it up that way. At most maybe remove the lower air dam or plastic facia below. Really depends on the vehicle. I did not, I have a very big winch bumper, the truck has 15" of lift so I have tons of room under it to work.

It helps out a lot for shorter people. I noticed my wife and mother use it every time. They are under 6ft. The steps are low profile and are tucked underneath the doors so they don't really get in the way. I use the steps sometimes and I have never tripped on them. Makes the truck look beefy as well. I highly recommend it for trucks that are lifted, but it works on stock height as well. Have a nice day I hope this helps you in your purchase.

They are not locked to the platform, but if you pull the risers outward to the end of the platform, then gently jiggle the unit once it is stacked, all of the risers will fall neatly into place in the grooves of the platform, and the step will stay put. I think that users' problems with stability stem from not ensuring that the risers and platform are lined up before they step on. A few seconds of taking initial care should eliminate any stability issues. (fyi, I find that set-up of this unit works easiest on a hard floor surface, rather than carpeted, since with the non-skid base, it is a bit more difficult to slide the risers into position on carpet. Not insurmountable, it still functions perfectly, it just makes set-up a little more difficult.)

i really can't tell you. but you can enter your vehicle info on the amazon website and it will list the steps that will work for you. that's what i did. you may want a longer step than mine. i'm short, and needed some help getting in and out of the truck. hope this helps. cm

I would be afraid to use it in that manner as it could slip and spell disaster. If you do want to use it like that, I'd drill holes in the truck to attach the ramp with bolts. Better than having someone crash down 2 feet.

No. It does not move out, just up and down on top of truck. The side ladders are removeable.

dear john...letter.. ha?ha? sorry i just had to.. the crack-pac. stopped at the dirt for me when i used it. it states on the directions that if there is space behind you can/will loose it. if your mud jack filled the void behind the crack you should be ok. its too expensive to loose and you will pretty much know in the 1st tube. as you pump it in it should fill not fall out. if mud/dirt is not present behind you will have to find access somehow behind the crack. it worked great for me on a wall.. i have not tried floors (yet) good luck!!!

It is a very sturdy step while in use, however........... the risers snap into the bottom of the step but often fall out when you pick up the step to move it.
