All the safety benefits of the original Safe-T-Rail in a compact design. Extends 34" from the RV wall with ~48" of continuous rail surface. Magnetic lock plus secondary pin for secure travel. For flat fiberglass-walled 5th wheels and travel trailers.
The MORryde SP56-573 Short Safe-T-Rail delivers the same residential-style handrail safety as the original Safe-T-Rail (SP56-469) in a more compact design — making it the right choice for RV owners who have fewer entry steps, tighter clearances, or simply prefer a lower-profile rail that sits closer to the RV wall when stored.
The Short Safe-T-Rail extends 34" from the RV wall and provides nearly 48" of continuous grippable rail surface alongside your entry steps. When it's time to travel, the rail folds flat against the wall and is held securely in place by both a magnetic lock and a secondary pin — a dual-retention system that goes beyond the standard Safe-T-Rail for added confidence during transport. Like its sibling, the SP56-573 is designed exclusively for fifth wheels and travel trailers with flat fiberglass walls and is not intended for motorhomes.
Nearly 48" of uninterrupted grippable handrail alongside the entry steps in a compact footprint
Compact telescoping design reaches 34" from the RV wall — ideal for entries with fewer steps or tighter clearances
Dual travel retention: a magnetic lock and a secondary pin both hold the rail flush to the wall during towing for added security
Quick and straightforward wall-mount installation on flat fiberglass — same installation approach as the standard Safe-T-Rail
The SP56-573 Short Safe-T-Rail is designed exclusively for fifth wheels and travel trailers with flat fiberglass walls. It is explicitly not intended for motorhomes or RVs with corrugated steel walls or curved wall profiles. Do not order if your RV has: • A motorhome body (Class A, B, or C) • Corrugated or ribbed steel wall siding • Curved, angled, or non-flat wall surfaces at the entry • Insufficient clearance for the rail to extend and retract properly If you have a motorhome, see the MORryde Motorhome Safe-T-Rail. Use MORryde's Short Safe-T-Rail Qualifier guide to confirm your trailer is compatible before purchasing.
The Short Safe-T-Rail (SP56-573) and the standard Safe-T-Rail (SP56-469) share the same design and installation approach but differ in extension length and rail surface. Choosing the correct model depends on your RV's entry step count and available wall clearance: Short Safe-T-Rail SP56-573: Extends 34" from wall, ~48" of rail. Best for RVs with fewer entry steps (1–2 steps) or where the full-length model would extend too far due to clearance constraints such as cargo hatches, slide-outs, or awning proximity. Standard Safe-T-Rail SP56-469: Extends 42.5" from wall, 54" of rail. Best for RVs with more entry steps where a longer reach and more continuous rail surface is needed. Use MORryde's Short Safe-T-Rail Qualifier to confirm which model is the right fit before ordering. Both models share the same Qualifier guide (SP56-469 and SP56-573).
Installation Steps: 1. Qualify Your RV: Use MORryde's Short Safe-T-Rail Qualifier to confirm your trailer has a flat fiberglass wall, sufficient side clearance, and proper mounting location 2.

Mount the Bracket: Secure the wall bracket to the flat fiberglass wall per the installation guide's fastener requirements 4. Attach the Rail: Connect the telescoping Short Safe-T-Rail assembly to the wall bracket 5. Test Extension and Retraction: Extend the rail to its full 34" reach and verify clearance from all adjacent components 6. Engage Travel Locks: Fold rail flat and engage both the magnetic lock and secondary pin — verify the rail is held firmly before towing Refer to MORryde's Short Safe-T-Rail Installation Instructions for complete fastener specs and step-by-step guidance.
