Elevate your Volkswagen Crafter with the Modifero electric sliding step. Available in multiple sizes (40cm, 50cm, 60cm, 80cm, and 100cm), this precision-engineered 100% rust-proof aluminum 12V automatic power step provides heavy-duty, reliable access for luxury campervans, 4x4 overland builds, and premium commercial fleets.
The Volkswagen Crafter is widely used as a base vehicle for commercial transport, campervans, passenger transport vehicles, mobile workplaces and professional vehicle conversions. The Modifero Electric Sliding Step provides an additional entry level below the side door, making everyday access to the vehicle easier and more convenient.
When the side door is opened, the step automatically extends. When the door is closed, it retracts compactly underneath the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle and installation configuration, the system is available in 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm and 100 cm widths. The required step width can be selected directly on this product page. The product price is automatically adjusted according to the selected size.
The main structure and tread platform are manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminum. The lightweight and durable construction is suitable for regular vehicle use and helps provide resistance to moisture, road dirt, salt and changing weather conditions encountered during normal operation.
The electric step is controlled by a mechanical switch mounted at the door frame. When the side door opens, the step automatically extends; when the door closes, it retracts underneath the vehicle. Important: this model does not include an automatic obstacle detection or reversing sensor. Before opening the door, always make sure that the movement area of the step is clear of curbs, objects and other obstacles.
The Volkswagen Crafter is used for a wide range of professional and recreational vehicle projects. In commercial vehicles, campervans, passenger transport vehicles, mobile workplaces and specialist vehicle conversions, the side entrance is often one of the most frequently used areas of the vehicle.
The automatically operated Modifero electric step integrates naturally into this access area. It becomes available as an additional entry level when the door opens and retracts compactly underneath the vehicle when the door closes.
