How To Add A Step to the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps

Question

Question:

I have a TorkLift GlowStep Revolution step system on my trailer. I need to add a step to the system. My step system is 27.5 inch wide mounting type. I recently purchased an add a step from another supplier that was specifically for the 27.5 inch system. The step I received is only 20 inch wide, which would work for a 25.5 inch step system but not for my 27.5 inch system. Your website offers an add a step, Item # TLA810, that says it is for the 25-7/16 inch system but the description in the Features section says the Step platform dimensions: 22inch wide x 8inch deep. Is the step featured really 22 inches? Do you know if it will fit my 27.5 inch steps? Thanks,

If your TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps have a 27-1/2' wide mounting bracket then the correct Add-A-Step for TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps is part # TLA8001 which is 22" wide. If your TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps have a 25-1/2' wide mounting bracket then the correct Add-A-Step for TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps is part # TLA8101 which is also 22" wide.

The 20" wide steps are for the non-Revolution series GlowStep steps. All of the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps are 22" wide.

I have a solution for you but we don't have a replacement bracket to replace the support and bolt that was broken on your TorkLift GlowStep similar to the #TLA8004 . Instead you would need to use the Add-A-Step for TorkLift GlowStep Revolution…

You can indeed add a 5th step later down the line to the TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Step Assembly #TLA8104 that you referenced. To do this, you will just need the TorkLift Add-A-Step #TLA8101. This will give you a 5th step with the same…

We don't have an install picture but what I can do is describe it. The portion of the #LC301704 with the round holes mounts to the bottom of the frame on your trailer with nuts and bolts or welding. They would need to be spaced at the width of…

The TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear #TLA8102 have a height of 16-1/2" from the top of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the steps when fully retracted. This is the same for the #TLA8103 since they both use the same…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
