German term or phrase: Auftrittsfläche
Der Fahrer muss nicht mehr auf die Auftrittsfläche des LKW's klettern - somit ist die Absturzgefahr gebannt. Besonders gefährlich im Winter, wenn der Auftritt vereist ist.

agree  Donald Rutherford: In this case I agree, although Auftritt also means the height of one step above the other on a stairway
6 hrs
  -> Thank you, Donald - would that be "stair run/tread"?

Reference information:
I have spoken to two tradesmen today and neither of them was familiar with the term "stair run". I would say that "tread" is Auftritts flaeche.
