Abstract
A stair assembly for a work vehicle includes a stepped support and an actuator. The stepped support has one or more steps mountable to a side of the work vehicle. The stepped support is moveable by the actuator between a retracted orientation, in which the stepped support has a first length between first and second ends, and an extended orientation, in which the support structure has a greater length. When mounted to the work vehicle, the second end of the stepped support is at an outward lowered position in the extended orientation with respect to the work vehicle relative to an inward raised position of the second end of the stepped support in the retracted orientation.
