1080+ Heavy Duty Combinations
For off-road vehicle manufacturers that desire handlebar controls that are easily customized, have low up-front tooling costs, enhance safety and increase design flexibility, Honeywell introduces the 1080HD Handlebar Controls platform. With more than 1080 combinations available, these heavy-duty controls provide flexible designs from a trusted supplier. This novel approach to designing controls provides off-the-shelf, SAE spec-qualified handlebar controls containing higher functional density per package volume.

With little up-front investment for the OEM, Honeywell’s platform approach creates a customized right or left-hand control in a cost-efficient, qualified handlebar control to support short OEM product design cycles.

The 1080HD series offers enhanced safety through an optional runaway prevention switch, and through a smaller form factor that enables easier user access to critical vehicle functions.

To meet the additional desire for aesthetic differentiation, Honeywell has developed three patent-pending designs that can be applied to the platform controls. Our small form factor that accommodates 3-7 functions on the left hand control in common housings, and up to 3 functions on the right. Common components and inserted tooling reduce tooling investment and minimize procurement complexity in addition to improving manufacturability. Other customer-specific functions can be added to create a customized right or left-hand control in a cost-efficient, spec-qualified control to meet North American and European off-road vehicle requirements.

These customized controls may be designed for use on various types of vehicles with handlebars, including ATVs, snow mobiles, electric vehicles, Segway® mobile platforms, motorcycles or standing, handle bar-maneuvered machines (e.g., industrial sweepers, grocery/luggage cart collectors, etc.).
