ABSTRACT:
A step assembly (438) includes two step supporting members (444) which have proximal ends pivotally attached to the underside of a mounting bracket (440). The step supporting members (444) support a plurality of rungs (445). A step plate (446) is attached in cantilevered manner to each of the rungs (445) whereby a rear one of the step supporting members (444) is intermediate the step plate (446) and the front step supporting member. A transmission assembly is provided for causing distal ends of the step supporting members to contact the ground (G) and thereby acquire an extended, angularly inclined position. In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes an actuator (470). In another embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a motor and cable assembly (472).
