Three adjustments. One comfortable way aboard.

Every boat and trailer combination is different. ShiftStep lets you adjust where the ladder sits, which way it faces and how steeply it rises.

01

Position along the beam

Slide the base forward or backward along a suitable trailer beam to choose your mounting location.

02

Ladder angle

Select 60°, 70° or 80° to suit the available space and reach. Adjust the step supports to match.

03

Direction to the boat

Choose from 16 indexed base positions, spaced at 22.5°, to point the steps towards your boarding position.

Mounting base clamped to a trailer beam
Built to last

Stainless steel, down to the hardware

An SS304 stainless-steel structure with stainless bolts, nuts, washers and mounting parts. The 60 × 40 × 3 mm rectangular mast carries three 280 mm steps, each with an anti-slip pad.

The base clamps around the trailer beam, so there is no drilling or welding, and no holes through the trailer's protective coating.

Insulating layers on the upper supports and lower clamps keep the stainless mounting surfaces off the galvanized beam. This protects the zinc coating and reduces galvanic corrosion when moisture is present.
