Until now, folding the footboards on refuse collection vehicles was purely manual labor. But STUMMER has come up with a smart solution: the active footboard can now be operated at the touch of a button, significantly reducing the workload for loading personnel.

This innovation not only enhances comfort but also boosts efficiency in day-to-day operations. The footboard can be conveniently folded up from the cab, which is especially helpful when reversing. Plus, it minimizes reversing restrictions and system locks while optimizing the slope angle, leading to less damage from touchdowns.

Good to know: the active footboard is an optional feature and doesn’t replace the manually adjustable footboards, which are still available. This function can be easily retrofitted to waste collection vehicles in the X-Family (X1, X2, and X4) equipped with the ZOELLER Control System and the new DIN EN 1501 standard.
