Steps on a flatbed semi-trailer?

I drive the interstate quite a bit and occasionally I'll see on the back of a flatbed trailer what looks like cast aluminum steps that could be flippped down to give you an extra step when getting up on the trailer. Does anyone here know what I'm talking about and do you know who makes them?

Yep, they're steps, two rungs and they won't come near the ground when folded out. Any help would be appreciated!

This doesn't seem right, but I saw your post somewhere else and this seemed to be what was being discussed:
