AVS Steps is a worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing steps for passenger and emergency service vehicles. Founded in 1993 the company grew rapidly into the largest European supplier of electric and manually operated access steps for taxis, minibuses, ambulances and other accessible vehicles including individual mobility vehicles. In 2017 AVS Steps was acquired by the Rhino Products Group who are Europe’s leading manufacturer of commercial vehicle steps.

Glide Step

Our electric Glide Step range, available in 600mm and 1200mm widths, provides the best possible reliability and performance, while also offering aesthetic integration with modern vehicles. This means it not only visually complements taxis, minibuses and ambulances, but has been engineered with precision to ensure it won’t let you down in the field, minimizing off-road time.

Every aspect of the Glide Step has been refined by our inhouse team of designers, from the all new motor, to the LED strip for better visibility, and new guide wheels for improved deploying and stowing, through to the lower covers for easier cleaning access.

Designed to keep you moving

Keeping your vehicle on the road is paramount, which is why the Glide Step has been designed with a new motor and ridged guide wheels that run on stainless steel rails to ensure the step is fit for continuous use day-in-day-out.

New powerful motor

The Glide Step is powered by a much stronger motor than previous models, meaning that the step can deploy at any angle or incline you happen to be parked on.

Sensitive edge safety feature

A failsafe that halts power to the motor upon coming into contact with an obstruction, preventing damage to the step and injury to passengers. As an added safety feature, the step will not deploy if the sensitive edge is damaged (replacement kits are available if required).

Removable underside covers

Dashboard switch

The step comes with a wiring kit that includes a control and a dashboard switch. This switch not only turns the step on/off, but also lights up to inform the driver whether the step is currently deployed, stowed or moving. The switch will also alert the driver in the event of an obstruction or the step not deploying fully.
