Monroe Truck Equipment’s StepMate™ is a new ergonomic cargo space entry system on the market. This step bumper, and grab handle system is integrated into the Monroe Service Body line to make accessing the cargo space easier than ever. Over time, the ergonomic features help decrease pain, tension and repetition that can lead to discomfort and sometimes health issues.
Safe, Ergonomic & Durable
Pooched Grip
The StepMate™ system features a raised (or “pooched”) bumper that helps the user’s boot grip the step while getting in and out of the cargo area and prevent slippage. Additionally, it has the added benefit of shedding excess dirt and debris, preventing it from collecting on the bumper or being transferred to your truck bed.
Damage Reduction
The bumper is mounted to the chassis frame instead of the service body to reduce collision damage. This provides more durability and strength and in the case of damage to the rear of the vehicle, the space between the bumper and service body protects damage to the service body itself.
Comfort Step
The StepMate™ is one of the lowest steps in the industry–only 23” high. The design of this reduced height allows drivers to easily, and safely, climb in and out of their service body. This is a more ergonomic step for users of all sizes.
Added Assist Handles
Without a clear place on the body to grip, users tend to grab a hinge or the smooth cab body, which can result in serious injury. The StepMate system integrates an ingress grab handle on each side of the model to make it easy for users to get in and out of the truck. The three-point system ensures movement is smooth and safe.
Equipment Accommodations
The StepMate™ features a recessed trailer plug mounted into the faceplate for easy access.
Powder Coated
The black powder coat finish creates a protective barrier that minimizes rust, chipping and scratching of the bumper.
