Frequently Asked Questions
Q. From what material is the SideStep constructed?
- The SideStep is made of high-strength yet light-weight aluminum. The ratchet and pawl system for adjusting the step angle is made of durable steel.
Q. What makes the SideStep unique?
- In addition to its light-weight, portable design, the steps on the ladder can be adjusted to match the slope of your offloading environment. Unlike most trailer ladder or step products, whose vertical design makes entry and exit from the trailer difficult, the SideStep is adjustable to each environment you encounter.
Q. How do the steps adjust?
- A durable ratchet and pawl system allows the ladder to fold and store nearly flat. When moved to the Platform or any trailer door, the driver engages an easily accessible release handle to adjust the angle of the steps to match the offloading surface.
Q. Where on the trailer can the SideStep be used?
- The SideStep works alone at the rear or side doors and also works as an integral part of the RoadwarrioR Platform system.
Q. What is the RoadwarrioR Platform system?
- R·O·M has designed the Ultimate Trailer Access Solution for food distributors. The SideStep is ideal for use alone at any trailer door or as part of the Platform system. The side-door Platform offers a safe, driver-friendly work surface for efficiently offloading goods from the trailer. The ladder can be attached to the Platform for smaller deliveries, or the SidekicK folding walkramp can parallel the trailer to the front or rear.
Q. How much does the SideStep weigh?
- The ladder weighs 27 lbs.
Q. What is the ladder's weight capacity?
- The SideStep has been load tested to 500 lbs.
Q. How is the SideStep stored?
- The ladder is stored underneath the trailer in its own protected carrier, preventing damage to the SideStep during transit.
