Step plates, found within the cabin area (Body > Cabins > Step Plates) of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, provide a durable and protective surface for vehicle entry and egress. These plates are typically located along the vehicle's floor, beneath the doors and around the driver and passenger seating areas, shielding the underlying floor structure from wear and tear caused by foot traffic. Constructed from materials like steel, aluminum, or durable plastics, step plates are designed to withstand repeated use and maintain a clean appearance. Variations exist for different vehicle models and cab configurations, often incorporating textured surfaces for enhanced grip and preventing slips. Examples in this category include plates for MAN trucks (MPN 81.61510-5229, 81.61511-0001, 81.61510-5187, 64.61510-5008) and Mercedes-Benz trucks.
