Tubular handles are a classic machine fixture, and are used for cupboards and cabinets, drawers, covers and hatches. They are standard fittings on many types of push pull doors. With an attractive, solid design they have several advantages - they can have adjustable shanks to make a custom handle in the exact size needed, with shanks and tubes sold separately, they can be part of a modular system again to make the correct size required and the tube can be utilised for power switching functions perfect for operations such as emergency stop, start, release, reset and LED status display. This tubular handle set up allows the machine to be monitored and operated directly at the door or gate.
Tubular handles may be round or oval in cross section and may incorporate a gentle arch. Angled or inclined versions may be useful where space is at a premium and material choices include aluminium, stainless steel and plastic.
