Types of Industrial handles

D-Ring Handles
D-ring handles are versatile and durable components that can withstand the harshest conditions, making them well-suited for emergency vehicles, heavy trucks, and a variety of other industrial and commercial applications. These handles feature a sturdy D-shaped ring attached to a reinforced base, providing a secure and ergonomic grip that is easy to operate even when wearing gloves. Available in customizable sizes, styles, and finishes, D-ring handles offer reliable performance and strength in demanding environments where reliability is essential, such as military, aerospace, and marine settings.

Grab Handles
Grab handles is designed to meet the needs of innumerable industrial, commercial, and transportation applications. Our handles are typically made from durable materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or reinforced plastic to withstand heavy use and harsh environments. They come in different shapes, including straight, curved, or angled designs, and many are ergonomically designed to enhance grip and functionality. Some feature textured or rubberized surfaces for improved user comfort and slip resistance. They may be surface-mounted or recessed, depending on the application, and can be fixed with screws, bolts, or welded attachments.

T-Style Handles
T-style handles are designed for durability, ease of use, and security. Available in locking and non-locking versions, they are commonly used on enclosures, toolboxes, machinery, and vehicles. Locking T-handles include key locks or provisions for padlocks to offer security against unauthorized access, while non-locking versions prioritize accessibility for quick, convenient operation without keys. T-style handles provide increased torque compared to L-style handles, making them better suited for applications requiring a firmer grip or higher force. Constructed from stainless steel, aluminum, or zinc alloy, they are designed for strength and longevity.

Folding-T Handles
Folding-T handles are essential for applications requiring security, convenience, and space efficiency. These heavy-duty latching mechanisms feature a T-shaped grip for ergonomic operation and a folding design that retracts when not in use, minimizing protrusions and reducing the risk of accidental snags. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or aluminum, folding-T handles offer secure closure with optional locking mechanisms for added protection. Commonly used in transportation, construction, and manufacturing, these handles provide easy access while maximizing space efficiency.

L-Style Handles
L-style handles offer a lower profile than their T-style counterparts without compromising durability. Available in locking and non-locking versions, these industrial handles are widely used in enclosures, cabinets, and machinery access points. Locking L-handles integrate keyed mechanisms or padlock provisions for security, preventing unauthorized access, while non-locking versions provide easy, unsecured entry. Both feature a rotating latch or cam system to secure doors and panels. L-style designs provide a lower-profile and more ergonomic one-handed operation - ideal where space is limited or a streamlined aesthetic is preferred.

Paddle Handles
Our durable paddle handles offer secure, easy operation with recessed or flush-mounted designs to prevent snagging. Made from sturdy materials like zinc-plated steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, they withstand heavy use and resist corrosion. Key locking, padlocking, and compression latching versions are available to meet diverse industrial needs, including right- or left-handed operation. Commonly found on heavy-duty vehicle doors, tool boxes, and access panels, these versatile, strong handles provide reliable, efficient latching solutions across industries.

Inside Handles
Austin Hardware offers a selection of inside handles designed with ergonomics in mind, prioritizing user comfort and accessibility. These handles are crafted from materials such as zinc-plated steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and composite materials. They provide secure gripping points for operators and workers. Inside handles play a crucial role in heavy machinery and vehicles, including buses, trucks, and industrial equipment, by assisting with safe entry, exit, and stability during operation. Additionally, they are utilized in enclosures, cabinets, and access panels, ensuring ease of maintenance and inspection. In material handling applications, these handles enhance maneuverability for carts, racks, and more.

Lift Handles & Pull Rings
Lift Handles and Pull Rings are essential components in manufacturing, transportation, and heavy machinery applications. They provide secure grip points for lifting, pulling, and securing equipment, ensuring safety and efficiency. These sturdy and secure gripping points are used in a variety of industrial enclosures, cabinets, and machine covers to facilitate easy access and maintenance. They are also found in transportation markets, such as trucks and trailers, where they are used in storage compartments to enable opening, closing, and securing loads. Additionally, Lift Handles and Pull Rings are used in aircraft panels, military cases, transport containers, toolboxes, generator enclosures, access hatches, waterproof cases, and shipping containers to enhance durability and ease of handling, even in harsh environments.
