Stainless Folding Step – Compact 50×85 mm Footstep, Vertical Mount

This Osculati folding stainless steel step is the perfect accessory to enhance safety and convenience on board. Crafted from high-quality polished AISI 316 stainless steel, it is built to withstand the marine environment – the step will not rust or degrade even with constant exposure to saltwater. Its compact 50×85 mm platform provides a stable foothold, and the stepping surface is lightly textured/ridged to help prevent slipping.

The base plate of the step measures 110×45 mm and features mounting holes for secure attachment to a vertical surface on your boat. You can install it in a variety of locations – for example, on the transom, in the cockpit area, on a mast, or even inside the boat (near the engine room or hatches where an extra step might be needed).

The unique folding action of this step makes it incredibly practical: when deployed, it offers a sturdy support for your foot, and when not in use – simply flip it up and it lies flat against the surface. In its folded position, it protrudes only 21 mm, meaning it won’t become an obstacle or trip hazard for crew members. The step stays firmly in place when folded (thanks to a snug hinge mechanism), so it won’t swing or rattle while the boat is in motion.

Applications: This versatile step proves useful in many situations. Mount it on the transom or swim platform to assist in climbing out of the water – for instance, as a lower step beneath a folding ladder, making that first step up from the water much easier. Place it in the engine compartment or hold where you often need to step down; the step will make access much safer. Sailboats can use it on the mast or a high topsides to ease boarding from a dock. It’s also an excellent choice for interior use – such as a fold-out step in the cabin to reach hatches or overhead storage.

Wherever you install it, the stainless folding step provides a secure foothold and tucks away discreetly when not needed. Its polished finish adds an elegant look that complements the style of modern boats. This compact solution improves onboard comfort and safety, all while keeping walkways clear when the step is folded.
