WTS - 36in Retractable Step Rear Ford Tranit

The CARR WTS 36in Retractable Step Rear Ford Transit is engineered for commercial van operators and tradespeople who need safe, convenient access to high rooflines and cargo areas. This retractable step addresses a critical pain point in daily fleet operations: climbing in and out of a tall van bed dozens of times per day without proper footing creates ergonomic strain, slip hazards, and worker safety risks. The 36-inch width spans the full rear of a Ford Transit, positioning your feet directly under the vehicle's centerline for balanced, confident stepping.

CARR's WTS (Welded Tubular Step) design uses robust steel construction to handle repeated heavy-duty use without flex or rattle. The retractable mechanism retracts completely when the vehicle is in motion, eliminating aerodynamic drag, side-sway hazards, and damage from low-clearance loading docks or parking structures. The step extends with a smooth, controlled action for safe deployment and retracts with a positive lock. At 77 pounds and measuring 20 x 5 x 43 inches, the step integrates cleanly with Ford Transit's rear frame geometry, mounting securely without interference with rear doors or cargo handling.

Fleet managers, HVAC technicians, delivery services, and construction teams benefit most from this safety upgrade, where a single slip costs time, liability, and worker morale. Ford Transit operators in commercial, utility, and specialty-vehicle roles will find the rear-mount configuration especially valuable for accessing roof-mounted equipment, securing tarps, or loading tall cargo. Installation requires proper frame-mounted brackets and should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with Transit platform modifications to ensure correct load distribution and alignment with existing rear hardware.
