Handrails - Entry handles

Whether for private use in a motorhome or commercial use in a van, a secure entry aid makes everyday life much more comfortable. Handles provide a firm grip when getting in and out of the vehicle and ensure that access to the vehicle is easy, safe, and convenient. Especially for vehicles with higher entry levels or frequent stops, they are an indispensable accessory that provides greater safety and comfort.

Why entry handles are important

Entry handles, also known as grab handles, are more than just simple devices: they offer safety and comfort when getting in and out of vehicles. They play a particularly important role in vans, station wagons, transporters, and motorhomes. For older people, people with limited mobility, or people with disabilities, these entry aids are often indispensable—they make movement easier and reduce the risk of falls.

But not only in everyday life: grab handles also provide relief in professional applications, such as for CEP service providers (courier, express, parcel service), who often have to get in and out of vehicles. Drivers and passengers alike benefit from a secure grab handle when the vehicle has high loading edges or requires frequent entry and exit.

Uses: When entry aids are particularly useful

• Motorhomes & recreational vehicles: These vehicles are often significantly higher, with high entry or rear-wheel drive. A reliable handle is particularly important here.
• Vans & delivery vehicles: Tailgates or loading areas are often difficult to access – entry and grab handles provide enormous support when getting in and out and loading/unloading.
• Multi-purpose and disabled vehicles: For people with limited mobility or balance issues, a handle to assist with getting in and out is a great help.
• Everyday vehicles with station wagons or vans: Here, too, a grab handle can help, e.g., when getting in and out through the side door, especially when carrying objects or when the entry is slippery/wet.

Variants and dimensions: The right handle for every application

Our entry handles are universally designed and suitable for a wide range of vehicle types. To ensure that each handle fits perfectly, you will find the exact dimensions – length, diameter, and mounting hole spacing – in the item description and product images. Our models are available in the following standard lengths:

• 300 mm
• 310 mm
• 470 mm
• 475 mm
• 590 mm
• 750 mm

Colors & Design

To ensure that function and design harmonize, we offer the grab rails in three colors:

• Gray: neutral, unobtrusive, and suitable for many interiors or exterior panels.
• Black: classic and robust, particularly practical if the handle is used frequently or is likely to get dirty.
• Yellow: highly visible, ideal for safety requirements or when the handle needs to be conspicuous.

The choice of color not only enhances the appearance, but also improves safety: a yellow handle is easier to spot, especially in poor lighting or stressful situations.

Fastening: Secure & flexible

Our grab handles are attached with rivet nuts (often called anchor nuts). These are included in the delivery, so you don't need to order any additional mounting materials. A big plus: rivet nuts provide a very strong and durable connection, ideal for vibration and stress.

The screws are not included, as the required length can vary greatly depending on the vehicle type, where the handle is to be used (door, tail lift, side wall), and the material thickness. A tip: Before installation, measure the thickness of the mounting points and select appropriate stainless steel screws to ensure rust resistance and durability.

Materials: Quality & comfort combined

• Strong steel core: For maximum strength, stable load capacity, and safety even with heavy use.
• PU foam coating: The PU foam gives slightly, ensuring a good, non-slip grip and greater comfort when holding.
• Hygienic PVC cover: Easy to clean, wipeable, and resistant to dirt, moisture, and cleaning agents.

Tips for selection & installation

1. Choose the right length: Measure the area where the handle is to be installed beforehand.
2. Color according to purpose: Yellow increases visibility, black & gray are more inconspicuous.
3. Check the mounting: Ensure that the vehicle bodywork provides a load-bearing wall structure.
4. Choose screws carefully: Stainless steel, suitable for the material thickness – this ensures long-term safety.
5. Cleaning and care: Simply wipe with a mild cleaning agent; PVC can be disinfected.
