Mid-Size Crossover Retractable Steps

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Technical Overview

Retractable steps for mid-size crossovers (CUVs) are optimized for compactness, weight efficiency, and fast deployment. The mechanism features a single, high-efficiency DC motor per side, balanced for rapid action and a minimal energy footprint. The linkage system is designed to provide a deep drop and solid lock-out, ensuring a stable 150 kg platform load capacity despite the lighter vehicle construction.

The system's control module utilizes a simplified door-trigger logic or light CAN-Bus reading, balancing safety features with rapid, cost-effective installation, ideal for the high-volume CUV market.

Introduction

The mid-size crossover is the backbone of modern family transport. These retractable steps offer a practical solution to the increased ride height, providing essential assistance for daily use. They prioritize ease of use and seamless integration, adding valuable utility without altering the vehicle's intended function or economy.

BHTC focuses on scalable manufacturing and reliable component selection for this segment. Our products are engineered for the demanding cycles of family use, offering durable performance at a competitive point, suitable for volume distributors globally.

Applications

  • Family Vehicles: Provides ergonomic access for children and elderly passengers.

  • High-Volume Models: Suitable for popular CUVs like the Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail, Haval H6, and equivalent domestic models.

  • Urban/Suburban Commuting: Engineered for reliability in dense urban traffic and all common road conditions.

  • Accessory Upgrades: A popular, feature-rich upgrade sold through dealerships and aftermarket retailers.

Common Questions

  • Q: Does the step's retracted position affect the CUV's ground clearance?
  • A: The system is designed to stow the platform above the lowest point of the rocker panel. While the mounting mechanism occupies space, the design prioritizes preserving the factory ground clearance as closely as possible.
  • Q: What type of routine maintenance is required for these steps?
  • A: Minimal maintenance is required. We recommend periodic inspection and cleaning of the linkage to remove road debris and, in harsh climates, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points annually.
  • Q: Are the steps noisy when they operate?
  • A: We use precision gear sets and high-quality bushings in the linkage, which significantly dampen operational noise. The sound level is generally subdued and non-intrusive.

Core Features

  • Weight Optimized Design: Utilizes thinner-gauge, high-strength aluminum and optimized linkage geometry to minimize overall weight, preserving fuel efficiency.

  • High Reliability: Simplified mechanical design (fewer moving parts) minimizes potential failure points over the product lifespan.

  • Rapid Deployment: Engineered for quick activation to match the fast-paced nature of daily urban commuting and passenger drop-off.

  • Seamless Aesthetic: Steps retract fully, ensuring the vehicle's ground clearance and visual lines are maintained for a factory-finished look.

Production & Customization Services

Production utilizes Automated Stamping Presses for high volume and consistent bracket dimensions. Quality control includes Dimensional and Functional Checks on a statistically significant sample of every batch to ensure perfect fitment.

Customization Opportunities:

  • Budget-Optimized Kits: Offering tailored component sets that balance cost and performance for entry-level market positioning.

  • Tread Inserts: Designing and tooling custom rubber or plastic step inserts to feature client branding or specific non-slip patterns.

  • Localized Documentation: Providing installation manuals and packaging translated and formatted for specific regional languages.

Product Display

Material Selection Guide

The platform is constructed from 6063 Aluminum Extrusion, favored for its strength-to-weight ratio and fine surface finish capability.

Mounting brackets are constructed from Stamped Q235 Steel which offers a cost-effective, durable solution suitable for high-volume production, treated with a thick E-coat layer.

The motor features a Durable, Sealed Polymer Housing to reduce weight and protect against common road splash and dust exposure.
