The Stander HandyBar is a car transfer handle that slots into the U-shaped striker plate on the door frame of most cars, giving the client a fixed point to hold while they lower into or push up out of the seat. It needs no fitting or tools, so it moves between the driver’s side, the passenger side and a taxi. The steel handle is 229 mm long, weighs 0.45 kg and is rated to 158 kg.
