PORTABLE STAIR STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE, STAIR STRUCTURE KIT, AND METHODS OF USING SAME

A transportable personal elevation device is attachable to a substrate which is a vehicle or trailer bed. The elevation device includes a platform assembly including a platform and a platform support member. The elevation device also includes a connector assembly including a pivot pin and a mounting structure. The connector assembly is configured and arranged such that when attached to the substrate, the elevation device can be pivotally moved about the pivot pin between a storage position and an outwardly extending position. The elevation device may also include a latch assembly for temporarily fixing a position of the device, and may further include a post which is attached to a side of the platform assembly to permit grasping thereof by a user. The elevation device may take the form of a pivotable stair assembly which can be folded into a storage configuration and stored beneath a truck trailer.
