Flexible Handles

Autobahn makes Flexible Handles that can be assembled on Slips without any modification. These Handles have the following additional features/benefits compared with the standard handles:

  • Flexible handles are safer in use & more durable than standard handles.
  • The elastomer section allows the handle to bend when the elevator is lowered on top of the slip. When the elevator is removed from the slip, these handles come back to their original shape automatically.
  • Reduce the likelihood of bend & break.
  • These handles reduce the risk of injury to the workers from being struck by spinning slip handles.
  • These handles can move to any angle in case of any load hitting, while the standard handle can not be changed/moved to any angle during any hit of load as it has no flexibility.
