Official AMP Research AMP American Made Products

Made in the USA

AMP Research products are designed, engineered and manufactured exclusively in the USA and is backed by an industry leading 5 year / 60,000 mile warranty.

Certified

High strength, U.S. certified aluminum alloy is used to manufacture our die cast linkage components and then anodized and Teflon coatings are applied to a military specification to resist corrosion. Precision fit, zero maintenance stainless steel pivot pins rotate on self lubricating composite bushings. Components are subjected to and pass a battery of environmental and durability tests including brutal 1000 hour salt spray tests.

Engineered

Covered by 16 patents, the AMP Research PowerStep features weatherproof OEM quality motors, wiring harness and sealed connectors. The AMP designed electronic controller employs pressure sensitive, pinch proof safety technology.

Each PowerStep kit includes two full length running boards assemblies for both driver and passenger sides, two electric motors, electronic controller, wiring harness, all necessary mounting hardware and an integrated, low profile, LED light system, all standard.

Proven to Preform

The AMP Research PowerStep has been tested and proven in long term, real world, driving conditions performing flawlessly in snow, ice, dust, mud and dirt. The lightweight, yet rock solid running board and rugged die cast linkage components are crafted in the USA of aircraft quality aluminum, black anodized and Teflon coated for maximum corrosion protection. Precision, stainless steel hinge points and bearings ensure trouble free action. And the heavy duty electric motor is designed and tested to provide reliable, maintenance free operation for decades.
