Handle system offers additional strength

A handle system from EMKA provides very long grab handles or static hand rails of adjustable lengths with extra supports for additional strength, the company says. These handles are claimed to be easy to use with gloved hands or from a variety of operator positions and angles.

A 1095 tubular handle spreads the load and stiffens large flexible panels so they can be lifted from one single position or can enable more than one operator to lift large heavy panels if necessary. They are suitable as grab rails or for guards, covers, inspection panels, such as feed guards or heavy machine covers.

The handle tubes are of 30mm outside diameter black coated steel available in standard lengths up to 5m – it is supported by black polyamide end brackets and intermediate supports at 90° or 35° for angled applications where required for easier access. CAD drawings may be downloaded from this link.
