Getting a handle on colour and design

WDS Components has released a new range of handles in stainless steel, aluminium and plastic. The new bow and bridge handles include a variety of styles and colours with orange powder coating as a new addition.

Available in various sizes for doors, drawers, cabinets and access panels, the handles can also be used for carrying heavy loads. The new products join an extensive range of existing WDS handles that also expands with a wider range of sizes.

“WDS’ complete handle range is designed for everyday domestic applications, through to OEM machine builders and enclosure manufacturers,” says the company. As well as bow and bridge designs, the range includes case handles for moveable storage units, recessed handles for applications that require a flush surface finish, and ledge handles for enclosures hatches and shutters. WDS handles are available in plastic, metal and stainless steel designs, and units are in stock for same-day despatch.

Centres of attraction

As a new release, front-mounted tube bridge handles are available in a wide range of hole centres, measured centre to centre between the handle’s two positioning holes, from 180 to 600 mm. The handles are provided with an M8 thread size. The two-piece handles are assembled on site at WDS’ Leeds facility, meaning in stock availability of the entire size range for same-day despatch.

Colour options include orange and black mounts, constructed from glass-reinforced thermoplastic, as well as silver/polished or black tube handle grips. The grips are constructed from a choice of anodised aluminium or stainless steel, and a grooved plastic coating for increased grip is also available. Screws, nuts and washers are supplied with the handles for simple mounting.

Gripping times

Bow handles in orange and black finish are also new to the range. Featuring an oval profile for easier grip, the handles are constructed from polyamide that provides a cost effective, hard wearing option. With hole centres ranging from 94 to 179 mm, thread sizes include M6 and M8. The bow handle is also available in aluminium for premium applications. Powder coated in orange, the handle is available in a wider range of hole centres, from 100 to 350 mm.

A 304 grade stainless steel round profile bridge handle is also new to the WDS range. This handle is designed for use in food preparation environments where full and regular washdown is necessary or where resistance to corrosion is required. The 304 stainless steel also provides a desirable finish for commercial or business environments. The handle is available in hole centre sizes from 128 to 425 mm, in M8 thread.

The existing range of bow and bridge handles includes various profiles, including square and off-set angles. Bridge handles can feature coloured caps, as well as soft and contoured grips.
