Running Boards and Steps for Commercial Vehicles

Depending on factors like your line of work and the types of jobs you take, you could be splitting your time between multiple sites each day — and that means getting in and out of your vehicle almost as many times. If you drive a high-clearance van or truck, having a way to enter and exit the cab easily (and safely) can make all the difference.

Side steps and running boards are a great way to get the extra boost you need. In addition, they protect a vehicle's exterior from debris while helping to keep the interior as clean as possible.

Choosing the Right Side Steps for Your Vehicle

When it comes to determining the types of running boards or steps that will best fit your van or truck, it’s important to keep the following considerations in mind:

Construction Material

Due to their function and location on your vehicle, side steps endure a significant amount of wear and tear. That’s why it’s important to make sure that the ones you choose are made from durable materials such as aluminum, carbon steel, or stainless steel.

Length

Commercial vehicles come in different sizes, so it’s important to make sure you opt for a running board that isn’t too long or too short. Knowing the exact measurements of your van or truck before selecting your side steps is key.

Type

Steps for commercial vehicles come in two different types — ones that are meant to be installed on the sides of your van or truck for cab access and others that are mounted to the rear to assist in entering and exiting the cargo hold.

Installation

Ensuring your safety and that of your passengers is always a top priority. That’s why it’s important to work with a trusted upfit partner who can properly install your vehicle’s running boards and steps.
