A landing gear set is only as usable as the handle on the end of it, and the handle is the piece that gets bent, walked off out of a drop yard or rusted solid. This 21 in T-Type landing gear crank handle distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires puts a full-size T-handle back on the gear so a driver can drop and hook without hunting for a bar to use instead. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets, trailer repair shops, and owner-operators nationwide.
Two Hands on the Gear: The 21 in T-Type Handle Advantage
The T-Type pattern gives the driver a crossbar to pull against instead of a single grip, which is what you want at the moment the gear takes the weight of a loaded trailer. At 21 in this is a long-throw handle, so there is real leverage on the crank when the gear is loaded and less time spent standing in the weather beside a running tractor. Because the crossbar gives two points of contact, a driver can keep both hands on the handle through the whole turn instead of regripping halfway around it, which matters most in winter with gloves on.
Built by Automann to Fleet Standard specifications, it is a direct replacement for the highly searched industry numbers Holland 50566049, Penz 03221H and Buffers 10031298. Both the hyphenated and unhyphenated forms of the Penz and Buffers numbers cross to this handle, so order by whichever form your parts system carries. A landing gear handle is one of the few parts on a trailer that goes missing more often than it wears out, so it is worth keeping one in the side box.
