LivingStep™ Introduces Breakthrough Tailgate
Stepping System
The LivingStep revolutionizes access to all
full-size truck beds
TGS-11 Surface Mount Model
TGS-12 Drop-In Model |
LANCASTER, Pa., Nov. 20 -- Following the
successful introduction of the LivingStep™
at SEMA 2008 in Las Vegas, pre-ordering is under
way and volume production has begun. LivingStep™,
patented in 2002, is an invention from Tom
Livingston, an entrepreneur/contractor out of
Pennsylvania.
The LivingStep™
was truly born of necessity. Livingston found
that as the years went by, he was having greater
difficulty getting his tools out of his truck
bed. He started searching for solutions in the
marketplace, but found none that were durable or
safe enough for daily use. Livingston began to
work on his own design to solve his problem. A
prototype was built and put into service on his
work truck. As soon as Livingston realized that
his design was able to exceed his needs he
sought Patent protection and was granted 2 full
patents.
Livingston's stepping system has proven to be
a multifunctional, innovative breakthrough.
Durable, yet simple, the LivingStep™
is constructed to automotive industry standards.
The success at SEMA 2008, a trade showcase to
over 125,000 industry professionals, pressed
Livingston and his investment group to begin the
official production process. One of the most
praised features of the LivingStep™
is its ability to provide more than one purpose
such as a bed extender, and an additional seat
for sitting, using the tailgate as a backrest.
The LivingStep™
offers two model types, the TGS-12 Drop-In
Model, and the TGS-11 Surface Mount Model. The
most prominent feature of the LivingStep™
is the single moving part, a hardened, stainless
steel hinge that withstands the elements of
sand, ice and snow. Both model types are
constructed of steel, e-coated and powder-coated
for durability and longevity. On the TGS-11
Surface Mount Model, the step is cradled in a
non-slip, high-density polyethylene mold that
features two cup holders. Both models are
designed to lie flush with the tailgate, and
distribute weight equally from side to side.
Known for ease of installment, one can expect
to allow 30 minutes on the TGS-11 Surface Mount
and approximately 2 hours for the TGS-12 Drop-In
Model. Simple, straightforward instructions on
installation will be included with the shipment.
Additionally, TGS-11 can be transferred from one
vehicle to another without the purchase of a new
truck.
The LivingStep(TM) is currently available on
the web and will soon be available through many
of your local parts distribution centers and
your favorite aftermarket catalogue channels.
