Handles & Levers
Handles and levers are how people meet machines — the touch points that make equipment adjustable, movable and safe to operate.
What are handles & levers?
Machine handles cover the operator hardware of equipment: pull and grab handles for doors and covers, handwheels for screws and valves, clamp levers that lock adjustments by hand, and knobs for smaller controls. All are standardised by mounting dimensions, so replacement and design selection is by size and duty.
Types of handles & levers
Pull & grab handles
Door, cover and drawer handles in metal and polymer.
Handwheels
Spoked and solid wheels, with or without fold-away crank.
Adjustable clamp levers
Ratcheting levers that clamp in any lever position.
Knobs & thumb screws
Small adjustment and locking controls.
How to select handles & levers
- Mounting: hole pitch, thread size (male/female) and orientation.
- Load and torque the operator must apply.
- Material and finish — polymer, aluminium, stainless.
- Ergonomics: grip length and clearance around the handle.

Frequently asked questions
- What is an adjustable clamp lever?
- A lever with a spring ratchet between handle and screw: lift, reposition, and clamp again — so it can always finish in a convenient orientation regardless of thread position. The standard for hand-locked adjustments.

Casters
Casters put equipment on wheels — chosen right, they roll easily, lock firmly and survive the floor and load they live on.
Washers & Shims
Millimetres are set with washers and shims — the small parts that give an assembly its exact heights, gaps and preloads.
Aluminium Profile
T-slot aluminium profile turns frame building into assembly — cut, bolt, reconfigure — no welding, no painting.
