Dongfeng KL truck parts Right upper foot pedal 8405208-C3101

Designed to optimize the user’s stepping motion, the pedal features an ergonomic platform shape and angle that reduces leg strain during cab entry/exit. The platform is tilted upward at a 12° 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. The pedal’s leading edge is chamfered (45° angle) to create a smooth transition from the lower step, preventing tripping and making it easier to step up, especially for users wearing heavy work boots. Unlike flat or poorly angled pedals that force awkward postures, this ergonomic design reduces knee and ankle fatigue by 35% for drivers and passengers who enter/exit the cab frequently (e.g., delivery drivers, maintenance technicians)

Built to withstand repeated stepping and heavy use, the pedal uses a rugged steel structure with exceptional load-bearing capacity. The platform is made of 2.5mm-thick cold-rolled steel (Q235 grade) with a tensile strength of 400–550 MPa, capable of supporting a static load of up to 250kg—well above the average weight of adult users plus tools. The mounting arms (connecting the platform to the cab frame) are 3mm-thick steel bars with a boxed structure that resists bending, even under uneven pressure (e.g., stepping on the edge of the platform). Unlike lightweight aluminum or plastic pedals that crack or deform under 150kg, this steel construction endures 80,000+ entry/exit cycles (equivalent to 4 years of heavy use) without performance degradation, ensuring long-term reliability

Engineered to prevent slips in wet, muddy, or icy conditions, the pedal’s top surface features a dual anti-slip design. The platform is stamped with a crosshatch pattern (depth 1.5mm) 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 (0.8mm thickness) that provides extra grip and resists scuffing from boots. The crosshatch pattern and polyurethane coating work together to reduce slip risk by 65% compared to smooth pedals, making the pedal safe to use in rain, snow, or construction site environments. Unlike pedals with worn anti-slip pads that need frequent replacement, this integrated design maintains grip for the pedal’s entire service life

Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions—including road salt, rain, and humidity—the pedal features comprehensive corrosion protection. All steel components undergo a three-step treatment: zinc phosphate pretreatment (for coating adhesion), electrostatic epoxy primer (50μm thickness), and a black polyester topcoat (70μm thickness) that matches the Dongfeng KL’s cab exterior. This coating system passes 800 hours of neutral salt spray testing (equivalent to 6 years of road salt exposure) without rust or peeling. The polyurethane anti-slip layer is resistant to UV degradation and chemical damage (e.g., oil, coolant spills), so it won’t fade or crack in sunlight. For maintenance, the pedal can be easily cleaned with a pressure washer (up to 90 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 (250kg for 24 hours), slip resistance testing (ASTM D1894), 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
