I have difficulty in making that first big step onto my tractor ladder and into my truck. Are there any add-on steps available?

  1. Check out these Web sites for commercial extra or add-on step kits. Fixed, hinged, and electric step kits that could work for large trucks:

    • Truck Add Ons – Truck Steps

    • Go Rhino – Truck Steps

    • AVS steps – Fleet and Commercial Vehicle Steps

    • PPL Motor Homes – RV Steps, Kwikee Electric and Step Rugs

  2. Check out the "Toolbox," which is a CD-ROM and on-line catalog of commercial and farmer-modified equipment and assistive devices for farming with a disability. It includes sections on tractor operator station accessing and truck cab accessing. Your county Extension office and local high school agricultural education teacher should have a copy of the CD to view (perhaps borrow), or you can access it (in pdf format) at www.bngtoolbox.info.
