Tank 300 Off-Road Electric Side Steps

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Technical Overview

Electric side steps for the Tank 300 are classified as Extreme-Duty Off-Road Accessories, designed to withstand significant vertical and lateral forces. The structure employs welded Q345B steel box tubing for the load arms and mounting brackets, ensuring high torsional rigidity. The system utilizes a double-sealed, high-torque geared motor that provides the necessary force to reliably deploy through frozen mud or packed snow, often encountered in serious off-road conditions.

When retracted, the step mechanism is fully concealed and protected behind the main frame rail, serving as a layer of rocker panel armor. The step surface features an aggressive, high-traction tread pattern for secure footing under all conditions.

Introduction

The Tank 300 is built for uncompromising off-road capability, and its accessories must match its rugged nature. These electric side steps provide essential accessibility for a vehicle with high ground clearance, while simultaneously offering a structural defense against trail damage. The focus is on mechanical strength and functional reliability in the toughest environments.

Bohai Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. brings its heavy-duty fabrication expertise to this platform. Our Tank 300 steps are engineered, tested, and certified for genuine off-road use, going beyond mere cosmetic utility to provide real structural protection.

Applications

Tank 300 and Tank 500: Essential upgrade for enhancing utility and providing structural side protection for these flagship off-road SUVs.
Off-Road Enthusiasts and Clubs: Preferred accessory for users who frequently engage in rock crawling, mudding, and challenging trail driving.
Fleet Use in Remote Areas: Reliable access for commercial or rescue vehicles operating on construction sites, mining areas, or unmaintained roads.
Suspension Modification: A necessity for vehicles with extreme lift kits, bridging the gap to the cabin safely.

Common Questions

Q: How do these steps prevent damage to the vehicle's body during a heavy rock strike?
A: The brackets are designed to be the primary failure point in an extreme event, absorbing and distributing impact energy into the vehicle's frame rather than allowing the force to buckle the vehicle's rocker panel.

Q: Does the high-torque motor consume significantly more battery power?
A: While peak current draw is higher during deployment through heavy fouling, the ECU manages the energy use efficiently. It only draws high power when necessary (e.g., breaking ice), reverting to a standard draw for normal operation.

Q: Can these steps be manually locked into the retracted position?
A: Yes. For extended, extremely challenging off-road trips, the system includes an electronic or mechanical override to lock the steps into the stowed position for maximum protection.

Core Features

Trail-Ready Strength: The use of thick-walled, high-yield steel in the linkage provides superior structural integrity against side-swiping on obstacles.
All-Condition Reliability: High-torque motor and simplified linkage geometry ensure the step operates reliably even when the mechanism is fouled with debris or frozen solid.
Protective Stowage: When retracted, the step and mechanism are tucked tightly against the frame, maximizing ground clearance and providing underbody defense.
Secure Footing: The large, aggressive tread pattern provides non-slip security even when boots are covered in mud, oil, or water.

Manufacturing & Customization

Manufacturing involves specialized Welding Procedures for the heavy-gauge steel, ensuring full penetration and strength at all joints. The final assemblies undergo a Destructive Load Test on a small batch sample to verify the integrity of the design.

Customization Opportunities: Focused on extreme utility:

Integrated Hi-Lift Jack Points: Designing the structural brackets to include reinforced points suitable for safe use with a high-lift jack during off-road recovery.
Custom Tread Finish: Offering aluminum or steel tread plate options with specialized anti-slip coatings or drainage features for use in wet climates.
Quick-Disconnect Wiring: Providing a specialized wiring harness with rugged, sealed quick-disconnect plugs for easy removal and re-installation during extensive vehicle maintenance.

Material Selection

The essential structural components are Q345B High-Tensile Steel (6-8mm thickness), chosen for its superior yield strength required for impact resistance.

The entire assembly receives a Military-Grade E-Coat Primer followed by a Textured, Ultra-Durable Powder Coat finish that is specifically resistant to stone chips and high abrasion.

Fasteners are Metric Grade 10.9 Steel (or higher), used throughout to ensure maximum shear strength at critical mounting points.
