    SureGrip FeatureLite Hand Controls

    Sure Grip Hand Controls FeatherLite (FL) controls are the next generation in column mount controls. By utilizing the OEM vehicle electronic signal to manipulate the throttle, we eliminate any mechanical linkage between the driving aid and vehicle’s gas pedal. This in turn increases the driver’s leg and lap room and decreases the need for dash modifications. Along with these benefits the FL controls also provide new levels of safety with their one source acceleration technology.

    The SURE GRIP hand controls system was designed for one clear goal: driving with both hands on the wheel. In addition, this creates a significantly safer, smoother driving experience for those with mobility challenges.

    SureGrip Pull/Twist Hand Control

    To operate simply push towards the dash for brake and rock towards the ground for acceleration. Also, the original and the best, the Sure Grip Push/Rock system, has become known for its comfort, precision and overall safety.

    Choose Your Throttle Source – Press the FeatherLite button to switch between the factory pedal and your hand controls.

    No More Gas Rod – Electronic acceleration means nothing has to press the gas pedal. Consequently, there is no gas rod at all. Moreover, this leads to a noticeable increase in leg room and cleaner installations.

    Smooth, Easy Throttle – FeatherLite gives you direct access to your vehicle’s throttle system. The result is the most responsive throttle on the market.

    Keep Two Hands On The Wheel – The Push/Rock style has one great advantage. It keeps both hands in contact with the steering wheel while you drive.

    Easy Access to Secondary Controls – The Push/Rock also keeps your hands close to the secondary controls. For example: turn signals, wipers, wash, and dimmer.

    Sure Grip Traditional Push / Right Angle Hand Control

    The Sure Grip Push Right/Angle hand control uses a short stroke design for acceleration. The hand controls the main body, and brake rod, are stationary when the accelerator is applied. The pivot point sits on the left-hand side of the wheel. Meanwhile, only the handle moves. The stationary main body and brake rod improve leg and lap room. In addition, they need fewer dash changes at install and give a much smoother drive.

    Increased leg and lap room
    The Sure Grip short stroke design means that only the handle of the control moves while applying throttle. This guarantees you can achieve full acceleration without the control impeding the driver’s lap.

    Greater two-handed contact with the steering wheel
    The handle’s stroke is short. Because of this, your hand stays near the steering wheel, and two-hand driving stays easy.

    Lock-Out Feature
    All Sure Grip’s traditional hand controls come standard with a lockout mechanism. The lockout is an added safety feature for the driver or those that share the vehicle. By simply sliding a lever, the accelerator function of the hand control can be disabled. This helps prevent accidents through misuse of the control by mechanics, valets or any other unqualified user.

    Limited modifications to the vehicle’s dash
    On the Push Right Angle control, the brake rod stays still during acceleration. As a result, installation needs fewer dash changes.

    Beyond the stationary main body, drivers appreciate the Push Right/Angle’s other strengths. For example: superior pedal feel, constant acceleration with no “dead spots”, and lower fatigue while driving

    Sure Grip Traditional Push/Pull Hand Control

    To operate simply push towards the dash for brake and pull directly back towards you for acceleration. The Sure Grip Push/Pull hand control uses the same movement to apply the gas and brake as other Push/Pull controls. However, the Sure Grip pivot point sits on the right-hand side, near the handle. This allows a shorter stroke and greater leverage.

    In addition to the pivot point, the handle’s position is at a slight angle. An angle that makes a big difference to the driver. The benefits of Sure Grip’s unique Push/Pull hand control design include:

    • Also, Less strain on the fingers.
    • Plus, Flexible hand positions for lower fatigue and cramping while driving.
    • Likewise, Ability for both hands to keep contact with the steering wheel.
    SureGrip Pull/Twist Hand Control

    This is a motorcycle style hand control that you push to brake and twist like a motorbike throttle for acceleration.

    THROTTLE CHOICE

    Easily switch from the factory pedal to your hand controls by pressing the Featherlite activation button.

    ​MOTORCYCLE FEEL

    Featherlite gives you direct access to the vehicle’s throttle. The result is the responsiveness you cannot achieve with traditional hand controls.

    INCREASED LEGROOM

    Electronic acceleration eliminates the need to physically depress the gas pedal and the need for a gas rod at all. This creates a noticeable increase in legroom and a cleaner installation.

    Features

    SureGrip Hand ControlsInstallation time and robustness:

    Digital calibration: Precisely calibrates our system to mimic the OEM pedal in a matter of seconds.
    Advanced diagnostic indicators to guide the installation and diagnose issues.
    Dual microprocessors, redundancy and integration with the standard OEM fault tolerance to ensure that there is no loss of safety.

    Safety Features:

    Buzzer for activation notifications and brake-throttle notifications. Intelligent activation will only allow swapping between systems at idle. Fully redundant signal processing. The system will only activate if redundant microcontrollers agree. Hand control sensor test and automatic calibration every ignition cycle ensures the maximum safety without sacrificing performance.

    Performance:

    Automatic recalibration over the life of the system means that you will never find dead spots in your accelerator. Always achieve the responsive driving feel from the hand controls. City Mode feature allows for an optional sensitivity adjustment. Instant acceleration responsiveness gives the same feel of the OEM pedal, which is unachievable with mechanical gas systems. Spring tension adjustment allows for a hand control that meets your strength requirements. No gas rod means increased leg and lap room. Single source acceleration means that only one driving device can be active at a time (OEM pedal or hand control). The activation button provides an easy and deliberate way to switch between the OEM pedal and hand control.

    Q: Can I upgrade my Traditional Push/Rock Hand Controls to FeatherLite?

    A: If you already have Traditional Hand Controls installed in your vehicle then much of the work required to install a FeatherLite control is already done. The only thing left to do is exchange the Traditional Main Body for a FeatherLite and install the electronic acceleration system. If you are interested in moving up to FeatherLite, contact your local Sure Grip dealer for more information.

    Q: Can FeatherLite Hand Controls be Transferred from One Vehicle to Another?

    A: Yes. However, it is quite common for some new parts to be required due to differences in the shape of the two vehicles as well as the parts required to interface with their respective throttle systems.

    Q: How Much Does a FeatherLite Push/Rock Cost?

    A: The price of purchasing and installing a hand control can vary greatly depending on the application and the vendor’s pricing policies. Contacting your Sure Grip dealer is the best way of understanding the cost of getting your vehicle equipped.

    ​Q: What is your Warranty Policy?

    ​Q: Will this affect any of my vehicle’s features?

    A: It is a standard practice to disconnect the tilt and telescoping feature of the steering wheel in order to eliminate the potential for the wheel to be adjusted in a way that affects the function of the hand control.

    ​Q: Will the Installation Require my Vehicle to be Modified?

    A: The extent of the modifications required to install hand controls varies significantly from one vehicle to another. Having a Sure Grip certified technician evaluate the vehicle is the best way of understanding what may need to be modified in order to install the equipment.
