Grab Handles For Peterbilt Trucks
A sturdy grab handle is one of the most important safety features on a commercial truck, giving drivers and technicians a secure grip when climbing into a high cab, stepping down from a fuel tank, or accessing equipment on the frame rail. Worn, loose, or broken grab handles are both a safety risk and an inspection issue. We carry replacement grab handles and assist handles in chrome, stainless, and powder-coated steel for Peterbilt trucks.
Frequently asked questions about grab handles
What materials are truck grab handles made from?
The most common materials are chrome-plated steel, stainless steel, and powder-coated steel. Chrome handles are popular for their appearance and corrosion resistance on well-maintained trucks. Stainless steel is the most durable option in harsh conditions, particularly in regions where road salt is used heavily. Powder-coated handles offer good corrosion resistance at a lower price point. Aluminum handles are lighter but typically not as strong under the dynamic loads of a driver pulling themselves into a tall cab.
How many grab handles does a Peterbilt typically have?
A standard Peterbilt cab typically has entry grab handles on both the driver and passenger doors, step handles positioned along the cab entry steps, and in many configurations a handle mounted on the A-pillar or door jamb to assist with the final pull into the cab. Sleeper models often have additional handles for accessing bunk and storage areas. Replacing missing or damaged handles matters because technicians and inspectors use all entry points during service.
Can I add extra grab handles to my Peterbilt?
Adding grab handles is possible in most locations where there is sufficient structural material behind the mounting surface to support the load. Use the correct fastener size and torque specification for the material being mounted into. A handle that pulls out of the cab body during entry is a serious fall hazard, so proper anchoring into structural material rather than just sheet metal is essential for any aftermarket handle installation.
