Can you all recommend a couple manufacturers of handles for tubing lfits? We want the ones that have a small cutout/tab on the uphill side to keep the strap in place. I demonstrated today (much to the amusement of everyone watching) that a tube with an overweight adult in it will quickly slide off the end of a standard handle. My usual search methods (ie. Google) have proven most unhelpful.

Thanks in advance!

We have a Multi-lift and use the standard handles on it. The only time that we run into issues is when the tow line becomes too far canted from level. I have heard of some flipping the handles around so the main bow is reversed from normal, leaving the 'nub and notch' to hold the tube ring. Of course, the more attached the tube is, the harder to remove/unload. Our unloading is automatic-hands free, thanks to gravity.

Thanks! Fortunately the standard handles are working just fine. Those specialized ones are pricey, and I can't see them self-unloading very easily.

Now to design and build an auto-load system before my lifties collapse from exhaustion!

I am also looking for some tubing handles. they would be for a O'connor cable tow. does fall line make tubing products?

Did you try contacting Danny O'Connor at O'Connor Wire Rope in Monson MA?. I believe he still provides handles for tubing.
