HitchMate TireStep tire-mounted step — Fits up to 12.5" tires, Black, 22"x10" platform & 400 lb capacity

If you need a quick, secure boost to reach roof racks, clean windows, change wiper blades or access engine bays, the HitchMate TireStep offers a portable alternative to ladders and stools. Built from powder-coated steel with a 22" x 10" platform and three height/width positions, it supports up to 400 lb and folds flat for storage in the included soft bag.

How does the TireStep attach and stay secure on different tires?

The step slides over your tire and locks into one of three width positions so it sits flush against the tread. Its design spreads weight across the tire and platform, creating a low center of gravity that resists twisting or slipping during normal use.

• Fits tires up to 12.5" wide with three width settings.
• Three vertical height positions for varying vehicle clearances.
• 22" x 10" stepping surface for stable footing and balance.

Will the TireStep support my weight and regular use tasks?

Yes—the HitchMate TireStep is engineered to carry up to 400 lb when correctly positioned on the tire. Its powder-coated metal construction and broad platform make it suitable for routine tasks like loading cargo, washing roofs, or reaching engine components.

• 400 lb rated capacity for most adult users and equipment.
• Durable black powder coat resists corrosion from outdoor use.
• Large stepping pad reduces wobble compared with small footholds.

How portable is it and where can I store it when not in use?

The unit folds flat and tucks into a soft storage bag included with the step, so it fits neatly in trunks, trailers, or garage shelves. Its compact profile and light assembly mean you can carry it on camping trips, road builds or keep it with seasonal gear.

• Folds flat to save space and prevent snagging.
• Soft storage bag protects finish and makes transport simple.
• Ready-to-use out of the box; minimal adjustments required.

What adjustments are required for different vehicles and tasks?

Adjust the step’s width to match your tire and select one of three height positions to reach the desired roofline or engine area. Quick-release style fittings mean changes take seconds and no special tools are necessary.

• Three width settings to clear narrow to wide tires.
• Three height settings to reach low to high rooflines.
• Simple hand adjustments; fully assembled from the factory.

Who is this for: The HitchMate TireStep is ideal for SUV, RV and light-truck owners who want a safer, more convenient way to reach elevated vehicle areas for loading gear, cleaning, or light maintenance. It’s especially useful for outdoor enthusiasts, mobile workers and anyone who prefers a compact, transportable step over bulky ladders.
