Built for Real World Conditions

The Easy Open Leverage Bar is built specifically for shipping container use. It measures 28 inches long and is constructed from solid steel, not hollow tubing. This length provides increased leverage, allowing you to apply force more efficiently without excessive effort.

The bar slides directly over the container door handle, instantly increasing torque so stubborn doors can be opened or closed with ease. Its solid construction is designed to withstand daily use in demanding environments including extreme heat, rain, snow, and dust.

A durable powder coated finish protects the steel from rust and corrosion, making it suitable for long term outdoor use. Whether it stays in a toolbox, truck bed, or storage shed, it is built to last.

Simple to Use with No Setup Required

One of the biggest advantages of the Easy Open Leverage Bar is its simplicity. There are no moving parts, no adjustments, and no tools required.

To use it, simply slide the open end of the bar over the shipping container door handle, grip the padded handle, and apply pressure. The added leverage reduces strain and allows the door to move smoothly instead of jerking or resisting.

The bar works with most standard ISO shipping container door handles. You do not need special training, strength, or experience to use it effectively. It delivers immediate results the moment it is in place.

Designed with Safety in Mind

Shipping container doors can be unpredictable. When stuck doors suddenly release, injuries such as strained wrists, shoulders, or backs can occur. The Easy Open Leverage Bar gives you better control and places your body in a safer position while applying force.

The non slip rubber grip provides stability even in wet conditions, reducing the risk of losing control while opening or closing the door. This added control helps prevent accidents and makes container access safer for daily use.

Ideal for Any Shipping Container Application

You do not need to operate a port or warehouse to benefit from this tool. The Easy Open Leverage Bar is useful for anyone who regularly accesses shipping containers.

It is especially helpful for freight and logistics professionals, contractors using container storage on job sites, farmers and ranchers storing feed or equipment, DIY builders working on container homes or workshops, and anyone using shipping containers for sheds, garages, or storage units.

If you own or manage a shipping container with a stiff door, this tool quickly becomes an essential part of your setup.

Durable, Affordable, and Built to Last

The Easy Open Leverage Bar is a small investment that delivers immediate value. Its solid steel construction and protective coating ensure long term performance with no maintenance required.

Unlike other container tools, it does not need to be fitted or adjusted for different doors. It works consistently across standard shipping container handles and performs the same every time you use it.
