Pull handles / Pull handles, arch
Pull handles by KIPP
Pull handles are supporting elements that feature a U-shaped structure. The handles are also known as arch handles. They are used as carrying handles, grips, door and bonnet handles.
Such handles are used in mechanical engineering, plant construction, toolmaking, sports equipment construction, the furniture industry and in rehabilitation and medical technology. Here supporting elements are used for opening, closing or carrying.
Basic function of pull handles is to allow for gripping, pulling, pushing or carrying of objects. Due to their shape, they offer steady and ergonomic handling. The handles make it easier to open and close covers or panelling. Moving drawers or carrying loads is also easier.
The shape of pull handles allows for easy and ergonomic handling. The handle is designed so that the fingers may grip and pull comfortably.
Pull handles are sturdy and made of different materials. These include aluminium, machining steel, thermoset, stainless steel, grey cast iron, polyamide, polyphthalamide GF50, polypropylene, steel and thermoplastic. These handles are also available in different sizes and designs to meet various practical requirements.
Being so versatile makes pull handles an indispensable component in many industries and applications.
Types of pull handles
With a wide variety of pull handles, KIPP is one of the leading German suppliers. The product range includes different shapes of pull and arch handles. This diversity allows for a wide range of applications in different industries and areas of use.
To help you find the right handle, you may filter according to the following criteria:
- Shape
Choose between oval, round and angular pull handles. This allows you to find the right look and ergonomics for your application. Oval pull handles are characterised by a soft, ergonomic shape. They fit the hand particularly well and enable even distribution of force. They are ideal for applications where convenience and comfortable gripping is paramount. Particularly noteworthy is the oval arch with removable handle. On YouTube you can watch a video on the use of removable pull handles.
Round pull handles offer a balanced look and feel. Due to their even shape, they can be gripped equally well in any direction. This makes them a versatile choice for applications where flexibility and secure grip are required.
Angular pull handles on the other hand, impress with a clear, functional form, often favoured in industrial and technical areas. Their straight lines offer particularly firm and controlled grip. This makes the handles ideal for demanding and precise work.
- Mounting options
Different mounting options of pull handles - front, rear or on both sides - offer varying advantages depending on the application.
Front-mounted pull handles are the most common solution. They offer easy and direct access and can be dismounted quickly.
Rear-mounted pull handles are often found in applications where protected mounting is required. This version ensures that fastening elements remain invisible and do affect the design of the object.
For maximum flexibility handles can be mounted on both sides. This solution is primarily chosen for heavy or large applications.
- Material of the base body
Our pull handles are available in different materials. Our material overview provides all the details in regard to individual materials.
In addition to products already mentioned, we also offer premium-quality pull handles for particularly demanding applications. All handles have good haptics to ensure comfortable handling.

ESD pull handles
ESD handles are ideal for work areas in which static charges caused by electricity have to be avoided. The handles are also known antistatic pull handles. Due to an antistatic surface coating, these handles prevent electrical discharges and ensure safety in sensitive environments.
MEDIgrip pull handles
These antibacterial pull handles feature a micro-silver coated surface. This reduces bacterial colonisation on the handle.
MEDIgrip is a product line by KIPP specially developed for use in medical environments. The antibacterial pull handles fulfil the highest standards of hygiene, precision and reliability. However, the handles can also be used in other hygienic environments such as the food industry.
Heat resistant pull handles
For applications in thermally stressed environments, we offer high-temperature resistant pull handles. The handles are made of high-quality, glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastic PPA. The material is heat-resistant and durable.
Heat-resistant handles are available in a plain black finish. They are perfect for applications that require heavy loads and high temperatures.
Mounting holes are designed so that handles can be mounted either from the operating side or the rear using a socket cap screw or a hexagonal nut.
The continuous use temperature range, according to IEC 216, lies between a maximum of 150 °C to 160 °C. When briefly used, the handle is able to withstand a maximum usage temperature of up to 250 °C.
