Not every landing gear installation has room for a full-length crank. Where the gear sits close to a fuel tank, a side skirt, a sliding tandem or the tractor frame, a long handle jams before it completes a turn and the driver ends up cranking in short, awkward bursts. This 6-3/4 in short-throw crank handle distributed by FleetPro Parts & Tires is built for exactly that situation - a tight-clearance horizontal-drive handle that clears the obstruction and still turns the gear. 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.
Clears the Obstruction: The 6-3/4 in Short-Throw Handle Advantage
At 6-3/4 in this handle turns in a much smaller circle than a standard-length crank, which is the entire point of it: it is the horizontal drive handle that fits where a longer one will not. It replaces the bent, rusted or missing handle on landing gear that is otherwise perfectly serviceable, and it goes on in place of the old one. Handles in tight installations take the worst abuse on the trailer, because a crank that fouls on a tank or a skirt gets levered against whatever it is hitting - which is exactly how it ends up bent in the first place. Fitting the right length is what breaks that cycle.
Built by Automann to Fleet Standard specifications, it is a direct replacement for the highly searched industry numbers 013-00430 and 10031695. If the gear has open clearance and you want a longer swing instead, order a full-length handle - this one is specified for tight-clearance installations.
