We can now provide even more safety awareness with bespoke reverse sensors with audible warning which can either be retrofitted into existing Handisteps or installed when first ordering the step applicable to your application.
Handistep is OEM approved and is fully compliant with both TUV & ELVD requirements and can assist in meeting the requirements that now surround Bill 220-EN, which becomes live in April 2008!

Handistep has been specified on BT Fleet vehicles for several years providing Van Fleet Safety & Protection and since the introduction of Handistep during 2001 this unique product has proved to be the most innovative step system available to both van fleet operators and owner operators of Light Commercial Vehicles who want safety and protection on their vehicles.
The Handistep range has continued to grow and has also addressed many specialist applications including bespoke systems for refrigerated trailers and box bodied vehicles which needed fold away steps such as the BT Fleet Ford Transit Box bodied vehicles.
Major Fleets specify this unique product knowing the system has been manufactured under stringent ISO 9000 (2000) standards and offers 2000 hours salt spray suppression being four times the industry standard.
During endurance testing the steps were also subjected to low speed rear impact tests which actually protected rear panel work of the van as the step has been designed to absorb low speed rear impact.
With ever increasing legislation surrounding “Duty of Care”, Handistep now offers even greater safety with the introduction of OEM / EMC approved, specially designed reverse sensors which are bespoke to this unique step system. These can be either retrofitted into existing steps or indeed can be ordered at the same time as the step thus saving valuable workshop labour installation time.
Using reverse sensors gives drivers peace of mind with an audible warning of objects out of sight of the rear view mirrors whilst reversing offering additional awareness and safety to both the Public and to the driver. Apart from the standard audible warning supplied with the reverse sensor kit; Handistep can offer a dashboard mounted digital read out display which pin points the area where the offending object is situated. Many fleets now specify Handistep with reverse sensors as a standard.
The features and benefits of Handistep coupled with OEM approvals and meeting the stringent rules surrounding TUV & ELVD compliance makes this step the one to specify when ordering your new vehicle.
