This lift was bought to help my brother access his RV after he developed a neurological disease that affects balance and leg strength. The lift is designed to help people with disabilities easily and effortlessly overcome a problem step. ​ The user simply steps onto the platform and using the conveniently located controls raises or lowers themselves to a height that will allow them to overcome a step, whether that be on a Motorhome, an RV or Travel Trailer, 5th Wheel, or around the home. Requires no alterations to a vehicle or home and is completely free standing. ​ Motorstep has a lift height of 24 inches and a step on height of just 1.5 inches and has a lift capacity of 280 pounds ​ Includes an emergency hand wind socket built in to the control column that allows you to manually operate the platform in the event of a power failure on your vehicle or in your home.
