Dongfeng KL truck parts Left upper foot pedal 8405207-C3101

Designed to optimize the user’s stepping motion, the pedal features an ergonomic platform shape and angle that reduces leg and foot strain during cab entry/exit. The platform is tilted upward at a 10° angle (matching the natural trajectory of a stepping foot), allowing users to place their entire foot flat on the surface—avoiding pressure points on the toes or heels, especially when wearing heavy work boots. The pedal’s leading edge is chamfered at a 45° angle with a 5mm-thick rubber buffer, creating a smooth transition from the lower step and preventing tripping. Unlike flat or poorly angled pedals that force awkward postures, this ergonomic design reduces knee and ankle fatigue by 40% for drivers and passengers who enter/exit the cab frequently (e.g., delivery drivers, maintenance staff)

Built to withstand repeated stepping and heavy loads, the pedal uses a rugged steel structure with exceptional load-bearing capability. The platform is made of 2.8mm-thick cold-rolled steel (Q235 grade) with a tensile strength of 400–550 MPa, capable of supporting a static load of up to 300kg—well exceeding the average weight of adult users plus tools or equipment. The mounting arms (connecting the platform to the cab frame) are 3.5mm-thick steel bars with a boxed structure that distributes weight evenly, preventing bending even when pressure is applied to the edge of the platform. Unlike lightweight aluminum or plastic pedals that crack or deform under 150kg, this steel-reinforced design endures 100,000+ entry/exit cycles (equivalent to 5 years of heavy use) without deformation, ensuring long-term safety and reliability

Engineered to prevent slips and falls in wet, muddy, or icy conditions, the pedal’s top surface features a dual anti-slip design. The platform is stamped with a deep crosshatch pattern (depth 2mm) that traps dirt, mud, and water, maintaining friction between the foot and pedal even when covered in debris. Additionally, the surface is coated with a textured, wear-resistant polyurethane layer (1mm thickness) that provides extra grip and resists scuffing from work boots. The crosshatch pattern and polyurethane coating work together to reduce slip risk by 70% compared to smooth pedals, making the pedal safe to use in rain, snow, or construction site environments. Unlike pedals with removable anti-slip pads that peel off over time, this integrated design maintains traction for the pedal’s entire service life

Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions—including road salt, rain, humidity, and UV radiation—the pedal features a comprehensive anti-corrosion treatment. All steel components undergo a three-step process: zinc phosphate pretreatment (for coating adhesion), electrostatic epoxy primer (60μm thickness), and a black polyester topcoat (80μm thickness) that matches the Dongfeng KL’s cab exterior. This coating system passes 900 hours of neutral salt spray testing (equivalent to 7 years of road salt exposure) without rust, peeling, or fading. The polyurethane anti-slip layer is also UV-resistant, preventing fading or cracking in direct sunlight. For maintenance, the pedal can be easily cleaned with a pressure washer (up to 100 bar) to remove mud or salt, and no repainting or part replacement is needed under normal use. Each unit undergoes strict testing: load-bearing trials (300kg for 24 hours), slip resistance testing (ASTM D1894 standard), and corrosion resistance verification. Backed by a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects (e.g., bending, rusting, anti-slip layer peeling), it provides Dongfeng KL truck owners with a safe, low-maintenance upper foot pedal solution
