Soylent Green Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hello everyone! All the very best for the new year! Can anyone help me with details of the company who provided Western Power Distribution with those yellow folding metal steps on the back of some of their Defenders? Thanks again!

oneandtwo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I’ll look on mine tomorrow, I’ve never used it! I think it is just a universal van step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Might be these as a factory fit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253216744996?clk_rvr_id=1412248576968&rmvSB=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Nope it’s bolted through the lower mountings of the Dixon bate slider. Safe T step I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Green Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks for the help! But I have Googled Google with every kind of word in regards to these steps but no joy!! Not all of WPD vehicles have them but I will check with the coach builders who built the Defenders for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Does look like a Hope product.... https://www.hopetechnical.co.uk/safe-t-step/ cant see a listing though...may be discontinued like the defender. Good luck in getting a response from them though. I emailed them as I had ripped the pipe vice mounts out my 2week old rear step whilst threading 2" steel (they were just spot welded in). That was 2012...still waiting lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Green Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks a million everyone! Hit the nail on the head! Scotts90 (Oneandtwo)that's the one on your ex-WPD, as you said its not shown on HOPE web site but I do know they still fit them to some WPD Defenders? Well they did?!?! (I own a 61 plate with no rear steps and skinned shin's ) Not so sure about the Dmax! those steps fit very well on the Defender! Anyway you all have got me a Little closer to my answering my question! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 All the last batch of 110s have them - that is on one of our 15 plates - the dmax is now the replacement for the defender in WPD I’ve never used it to be honest, I guess it is there to step on when removing ladders and rods from the roof if you aren’t tall - you can’t get in the back of them as they all racked out.

Ah got you Oneandtwo! I use my ex-WPD for contract work so the back is mostly empty (side shutters used more) so a set of steps that don't damage the rear cross member would be great, I have saw one or two used WPD defenders for sale online with those yellow steps, and would love to pick up a set! But thanks again for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
