I got this for my semi driver. Sometimes it's difficult getting the trailer doors to latch. This is very helpful, giving you more leverage. Great tool to have.

I got a shipping container to move with, and I couldn't close it for the life of me. I got my two sons to help, and they couldn't do it. This tool made it easy! Well worth the money to buy it.

A must have!
Verified Purchase
I have had a sea container for over two years and have always dreaded opening and closing the large heavy doors. The latch handles are almost more than I can handle. Now that I have the handle extender I have no problem opening and closing the doors. If you have one or more sea containers, this handle is a must have device in my opinion!

It works excellently!
Verified Purchase
I am small woman with 3 conexes on my cabin property. The ease of opening is variable at best. Some handles I couldn't get open at all, some open easily. This bar solves the problem. It works and is easy to use. I hated spending this much money on it, but it was worth every penny.

Testimonials
As a practicing Chiropractor, I feel that this is an invaluable tool to prevent work injuries, especially of the shoulder, wrist, and back. Its ergonomic design was well thought out. I am impressed.
As an Occupational Therapist, I think an ergonomic tool like this is so important to prevent work injuries, promote employee retention, improve performance without compromising safety, and enhance job satisfaction. Prioritizing employee safety should be vital in the workplace and a product like this was truly designed with that in mind.

No. Every reconditioned OPNBar is inspected, cleaned, refurbished and tested before it ships.
Do reconditioned bars work on truck trailer doors?
