Makes getting in/out of the skid loader much easier! Very heavy duty step. Bought one for each of my loader buckets.

Good product and fast shipping

Extremely sturdy. very positive position locking, large platform and very grippy.

I used it to make a folding hitch step for my work truck, a sturdy and well built step and i plan to buy a few more. great product.

Very solid heavy duty step. Packing/packaging should be more sturdy but this could be UPS handling issue. The spring (open/close) action is really stiff & really hard to open & close. Needed to use a padded table vice to hold it down to open/close...Nice sturdy step but needs smoother folding/unfolding to avoid damage to truck mount location.

This is a great step up. It is heavy and seems heavy duty. It is a little hard to open and close. We put a good dose of grease in it and I can raise and lower it with my hands. The "diamond teeth" on top of it are sharp and will cut you. I will put a thin rubber layer on mine to keep it from hurting my feet when I get up and down from the bed in my gooseneck horse trailer. I would have given 5 stars if the "teeth" weren't so sharp.

Difficult to open. The spring is very tight.

I used this to provide a second high step into the 8 ft bed of my F350. I installed it 5 inches behind my fuel refill door. I cut grey trex decking material available at Lowes to reinforce the panel. I made a U shaped bracket with the trex and screws that was 4 7/16 wide so that it would fit very snugly between the truck bedliner steel and the door panel then placed stainless steel screws to hold in place from the bedside. Then I made a trimmed edge paper template for the screw holes for the folding step and drilled a very small pilot hole to make sure it was at the right edge location. Then using gradually increasing size of the drill bits I enlarged the door panel holes up to 5/16 size. This step was important because if the holes are not very exact you will have problems threading the bolt. I then placed four 8 inch long 5/16 inch galvanized carriage bolts thru the folding step after I glued the soft washer plate in place. As the bolt travelled thru the trex U bracket I added galvanized washers and bolts and two flat steel reinforcement plates I had drilled out with 3/8 holes to further stiffen the support. I cut off about 1 1/2 inch of the bolts before adding a cap nut to each at the inside of the truck bed. I also had to purchase an extra long 5/16 inch metal drill bit. After tightening down all the bolts, the step can take my 180 pound weight without causing any flexion of the exterior wall panel of the truck.I have attached install photos.
