Ford Equator Sport Automatic Retractable Aluminum Electric Running Board

What is the power steps?

Power Steps are a specific type of electric running boards designed to provide easier access to taller vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs. They are characterized by their automatic deployment and retraction mechanism, which enhances convenience and safety for passengers.

Key Features of Power Steps:

Automatic Operation: Power Steps extend automatically when a door is opened and retract when the door is closed, providing a seamless user experience.

Low Profile Design: When retracted, Power Steps sit flush against the vehicle's body, maintaining a sleek look and reducing drag.

Strong and Durable: Typically made from robust materials like aluminum, Power Steps are built to withstand heavy use and harsh weather conditions

Enhanced Grip: Many models feature non-slip surfaces to ensure safety, especially in wet or icy conditions.

Custom Fit: Power Steps are often available for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, ensuring compatibility and proper fit.

SHOW DETAILS:

	End Design Beautiful arc design, so that the pedal is more attached to the body, the appearance of more beautiful.
	Reinforcement screw Alloy die casting reinforcement nut, reinforcement more secure, strong. Adopted advanced row 4 Neckar nut reinforcement design technology, effectively ensuring the pedal force uniform and strong Neckar screw fixation and make the pedal never loose.
	Thickened End The pedal end uses the high quality ABS engineering material, cold resistant, high temperature resistant, anti bump etc.. To avoid the body is not necessary to scratch, toeffectively protect the safety, but also play a beautiful role.
	Aviation Aluminum Using high-quality thick antioxidant aviation aluminum, die-casting aluminum frame collocation, hale and hearty structure, high strength aerospace aluminum frame, unilateral bearing up to 300kg, there is no need to worry about the load problem.
