Slip Resistant Step Stays Put
“I have 2 artificial hips so I needed a step that would stay put whenever I lean over while working on trucks, farm machinery and construction equipment. I couldn’t find what I wanted on the market so I built my own ‘slip resistant’ step.
  “It’s 12 in. wide, 16 to 24 in. long, and 9 to 18 in. high and stands on legs made from 1-in. tubing. The legs set on 3 1/2-in. sq. metal pads with diamond-shaped, rubber baler belting pop-riveted onto them. The rubber pads stick to the floor and won’t slip when I lean over to work under the hood of a vehicle.
  “The top of the step is made from anti-skid serrated plank grating, which comes in different widths. It doesn’t matter if my shoes are dirty or oily, the grating will dig into the soles and clean everything off.”
