The Venture TEC grab handle allows you to mount it to virtually any location on the rack system or on the Tec Rail truck bed rails. For the Venture Tec rack, mount these on uprights or on top of the cross bars. It is an aluminum die - cast construction that is powder - coated matte black to match the rack system. It will also hold up to any weather without worrying about rust. Being a stationary handle that does not fold, it will be nice and sturdy without worries of a hinge breaking.
