Because the wedges are available in various sizes, it is crucial to know the step height you will need before buying a new handle.

A crank handle is an electronic arm that is connected to a perpendicularly rotating shaft. The handle is operated manually by gripping it and turning it in a circular direction similar to how you use a pencil sharpener. In certain applications the handle could be leg-operated.

The base of the crank handle is hollow. This allows the handle to be connected to equipment and machinery. The handle's arm also has a connecting rod, which converts the circular motion of the handle into a rotary or reciprocating motion that operates machines and equipment.

Boats are typically transported on trailers using crank handles, in addition to machines and equipment that can be adjusted.
