Limitless possibilities with WDS pull handles

With a choice of multiple shapes and sizes, WDS offers the ideal ergonomic solution for virtually any application. The selection includes bow, finger pull, and flush handles, with a variety of hole sizes to ensure an accurate and secure fit.

Aluminium handles provide a lightweight yet strong solution, perfect where durability is essential, but weight reduction is important, such as in transport, robotics, or precision equipment. Thermoplastic components are inherently resistant to chemicals, oils, and corrosion, making them excellent choices for medical, laboratory and food-grade settings. They are non-conductive, making them suitable for electrical or heat-sensitive environments. For customers seeking sustainability, biopolymer offers an eco-friendly alternative.

Stainless steel handles deliver maximum corrosion resistance, making them ideal for harsh or outdoor environments while providing a clean, premium aesthetic required in pharmaceutical or cleanroom settings. Cast iron offers superior load-bearing strength, making it perfect for industrial machinery and structural applications.

Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and thermal stability, making it a dependable choice where traditional plastics may fall short. Bakelite, known for its rigidity and heat resistance, remains valued in certain legacy systems and electrical applications requiring dimensional stability and insulation.

By incorporating this diverse range of engineered materials, WDS ensures every handle meets both the ergonomic and visual demands of modern design while delivering exceptional performance in challenging conditions.

Engineered for every application

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, WDS has segmented its handle range by application type, material properties, and special features, ensuring the right fit for each use case.

Tube and bow handles are available in a variety of sizes and grip styles for optimum user comfort. Stainless steel bridge handles make a stylish addition to office or kitchen units, while control panels and access doors benefit from the ease of use provided by tube handles.

Bridge handles deliver outstanding reliability on automation systems or enclosures in trucks, buses, and other vehicles. Pocket and case handles are ideal for flight cases, capable of withstanding vibration and frequent handling; stainless steel versions offer added resilience against moisture and long-term use. The WDS Noir range offers robust, low-profile solutions for use on backdrops and rigging.

For environments demanding strict hygiene or a seamless appearance, flush and finger pull handles in smooth thermoplastic or GRP offer easy-to-clean surfaces with minimal visual intrusion.

Real-world performance

"We've deliberately expanded our handle range to ensure there's a perfect solution for every application," explains Sam Wilkinson, Technical Manager at WDS Components. "From harsh environments to cleanrooms, we offer options to suit any hole centre spacing and any mounting arrangement, including front, rear, and threaded fixings. Whether you need cost-effective functionality, ergonomic grip, or a high-end finish, we've got it covered."

Sam continues: "A customer in the medical equipment sector told us the rear-mount handle options made it much easier to meet hygiene standards, as there were no exposed fasteners: a simple but vital detail. We also received excellent feedback from a machine builder who needed a premium, durable handle for a large machine door and was impressed by both the quality and the precise specification we had available."

From industrial-grade performance to refined aesthetics, WDS handles deliver comprehensive solutions for every requirement.
