Electric Steps for Pickup Trucks (e.g., Cannon)

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Technical Overview

Electric steps for pickup trucks (like the Great Wall Cannon, Ford F-150, etc.) are characterized by their heavy-duty chassis mounting and high-ground clearance retention. The linkage system is engineered to deploy the step further outwards than SUV versions to accommodate the wider cab body and typically mounts directly to the strong ladder frame chassis. The motor units are selected for their ability to withstand the increased vibration and exposure associated with truck use.

The electronic control unit features speed-sensing auto-retraction to ensure the steps are fully stowed above the frame line once the truck exceeds a low threshold speed, protecting them from damage during off-road or high-speed driving.

Introduction

Pickup trucks often sit high, making access challenging. Our electric steps provide a durable, automatic solution that enhances the usability of the truck for work and personal use. They operate as a discreet, temporary access bridge that retracts to maximize the vehicle's rugged capability and ground clearance when driving.

Bohai Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. designs these truck steps with a focus on enduring the rough-and-tumble nature of pickup ownership. We ensure the mounting system and components are robust enough to handle the dynamic stresses exerted by a full-frame vehicle.

Applications

  • Great Wall Cannon and Wingle Series: Providing essential access for these high-volume, reliable pickup models.

  • International Pickup Models (e.g., Hilux, Ranger, F-Series): Designed with vehicle-specific mounting for various global truck platforms.

  • Construction and Field Service Trucks: Ideal for commercial applications where drivers frequently enter and exit the high cab.

  • Lifted and Modified Trucks: Necessary accessory when the vehicle's height has been substantially increased via suspension modification.

Common Questions

  • Q: Do these steps interfere with the truck's exhaust system or fuel lines?
  • A: No. The mounting kits are specifically designed and mapped to avoid all critical vehicle components, including brake lines, fuel lines, and exhaust routing, ensuring non-invasive installation.
  • Q: How reliable is the speed-sensing auto-retraction mechanism?
  • A: This feature is highly reliable, often using a signal from the vehicle's ECU or a dedicated GPS/speed sensor. The step is programmed to retract immediately once a preset low speed (e.g., 5 km/h) is exceeded, preventing any risk of damage.
  • Q: What kind of maintenance is required given the exposure under a truck?
  • A: We recommend periodic inspection and cleaning of the linkage to clear heavy mud or road debris, along with an annual application of a light silicone-based lubricant to the exposed pivot points.

Core Features

  • Frame-Mounted Strength: Brackets connect directly to the rigid ladder frame, providing a stable, high-capacity stepping point.

  • Ground Clearance Preservation: The speed-sensing feature automatically stows the steps, preventing potential damage when driving off-road or at high speeds.

  • Wide-Cab Accessibility: The linkage is designed to extend the platform outward, making it easier to step over the large rocker panel of a wide pickup cab.

  • Vibration Endurance: Motors and mounting points are engineered to withstand the harmonic vibration and shock loads characteristic of truck chassis.

Manufacturing & Customization

Production utilizes Heavy-Duty Machining Centers to create the thick, frame-specific brackets. The entire assembly is put through a simulated Shock and Vibration Test that mimics years of rough road conditions.

Customization Opportunities: Focused on rugged utility and branding:

  • Integrated Lighting/Reflectors: Incorporating amber or red LED clearance lights and reflectors into the step's design for enhanced visibility on large trucks.

  • Customized Step-Down: Offering bracket variations that can provide a slightly lower step-down to accommodate extremely tall truck lifts.

  • Model-Specific Footpads: Designing and tooling footpads that feature the pickup truck model name or a client's specific branding.

Product Display

Material Selection

Heavy-Gauge Q345 Steel Plate is used for the frame-mount brackets to handle the high static and dynamic loads of a truck.

The platform is typically Tough Aluminum Extrusion with deep, anti-slip ridges, finished with a heavy, Chip-Resistant Powder Coat.

All fasteners are High-Strength Grade 8.8 or 10.9 Plated Steel, necessary for maintaining a secure connection to the primary chassis frame.
