Abstract
An access system for a terminal or a yard type motor truck tractor includes three vertically and laterally spaced steps which are mountable on the tractor frame just aft of the tractor cab to provide access between ground level and a deck or platform of the tractor aft of the cab. First and second vertical and laterally spaced steps are mounted on a member supported by one of the tractor frame rails. A third step is separately mounted on the frame rail interposed the second step and the platform and includes handrails disposed adjacent thereto. The access system provides improved access between the tractor rear deck or platform and ground level and reduces user fatigue. A member supporting the first and second steps may form a storage compartment.
