Scania Type 3 & 4 Pumpers have automatic deploying steps for the crew cab. It sure helps when you exit the cab with CABA on your back :)

not sure about the steps on the Scania, but the ones on the Freightliner are better described as a flight of stairs.

You can see them in this pic from Corowa this year.

They even have a balustrade, that doubles as the side of the truck and steps when the device is stowed.

Wouldn't it be more of a "cunning idea" to alleviate the necessity of such a device by hanging around more flexible women?

If a nice lass cannot get her knees around her ears to mount the passenger seat of the vehicle, surely this should be a sign that she is not the one to continue courting. Albeit a thoughtless act of chivalric behaviour on the gentlemans behalf, a well placed hand could motivate her into the seat very quickly and start a nice topic of conversation in the vehicle.

Need one that works as a rock lsider when stowed, a step when deployed.. and fits a 130 Deefer. Then me an the missus will both be happy !
