When loading or unloading from a trailer, stable footing and secure support are critical. The RigCraftor “Trucker’s Step – 3 Steps” model offers a ladder‑style solution designed specifically for trailer access. Its specifications provide useful insight for fleet operators and individuals alike.
The product is available in two variants: an aluminium finish (model TS03) and a safety‑yellow version (model TS03Y). According to the manufacturer, it “fits all trailers” with a note that for certain types like dry box trailers and curtain trailers, a mounting bracket is required.
Key performance figures include a load capacity of 450 lbs (204 kg) and a lightweight design weighing just 14 lbs (6.35 kg). The ladder measures approximately 67 in x 12 in and features “3 support points” along with “sturdy, non‑slip steps” to enhance stability and reduce the risk of missteps.
The design emphasis is on safe and convenient trailer access. One customer testimonial reads:
“As a business, we rely on equipment that’s built to last. The Trucker’s Step 3‑step gives our team safe, solid access to trailers every single day. It’s lightweight, easy to move, and tough enough to handle real work conditions.”
From a practical standpoint, the ladder’s relatively light weight makes it easier to handle for individual operators, while the high load rating and non‑slip surface address common concerns in trailer access settings (e.g., wet surfaces, heavy loads). The requirement of a bracket for certain trailer types is a notable condition, and potential buyers should check compatibility with their specific trailer configuration.
Pricing is listed at CAD $725.00 (~US$514) on the manufacturer’s website. For U.S.‑based buyers, one should factor in shipping, potential customs or duties, and currency conversion, as noted on the listing.
In sum, the Trucker’s Step – 3 Steps offers a well‑defined set of specs and features aimed at improving safety during trailer access. For operations where repeated or heavy use of trailer beds is required, the combination of load capacity, non‑slip steps, and manageable weight makes it a worthwhile contender — provided one confirms bracket compatibility and shipping/logistics to their location.
