Tow Handle XL · 12″ Longer Upgrade
Add 12 inches of length to your existing JMI tow handle — better ergonomics for tall observers and easier pulls over uneven ground.
The JMI Tow Handle XL is a 12″ longer version of the standard JMI tow handle bar. If you've ever felt like you were bending too far to grip the standard tow handle — or wanted a bit more leverage when pulling a fully loaded Wheeley Bar over grass or gravel — this is the upgrade. It's the same proven design, just stretched out.
Read this before ordering: The XL is the
handle bar only — no additional hardware, no mounting bracket. You must
already own a JMI Wheeley Bar with a standard tow handle installed; the XL simply replaces the standard-length handle bar on your existing setup. If you don't yet have a tow handle, order the
1/2″ Tow Handle or
5/8″ Tow Handle first.
The XL handle works with any existing JMI tow handle assembly — whether your bar has 1/2″ or 5/8″ leveling screws, the XL handle bar fits the same connection point. Made in the USA by JMI, part of the CXB Astro family.

Don't Have a Tow Handle Yet?
The XL is an upgrade, not a complete tow handle. If your Wheeley Bar doesn't yet have a tow handle installed, you'll need to order the full assembly first:
→ JMI Tow Handle — 1/2″ screws + 5″ wheels (for Standard Medium and older HD bars)
→ JMI Tow Handle — 5/8″ screws + 5″ wheels (for current HD Medium, HD Large, HD Shorty)
Wheeley Bars with 10″ pneumatic tires already include a tow handle from the factory — the XL works on those too if you'd like more length.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's actually in the box?
One longer handle bar — that's it. No mounting bracket, no attachment hardware, no instructions for installing a tow handle from scratch. The XL is a part-swap upgrade for an existing tow handle assembly, not a complete kit.
Will it fit if my Wheeley Bar has 5/8″ leveling screws?
Yes — the XL handle works with any existing JMI tow handle, whether your bar uses 1/2″ or 5/8″ leveling screws. The handle bar attaches to the tow handle's bracket the same way regardless of which underlying tow handle you started with.
How much longer is it, really?
12 inches longer than the standard JMI tow handle. The product photo shows the standard and XL side by side for reference.
I have a Wheeley Bar with 10″ pneumatic tires — does the XL fit?
Yes. Wheeley Bars with 10″ pneumatic tires ship from the factory with a standard-length tow handle. The XL replaces that standard handle the same way it would on a 5″ caster bar with an aftermarket tow handle.
Can I keep my standard handle and swap between them?
Yes — nothing stops you from swapping the standard and XL handle bars depending on the situation. The swap takes about a minute with basic hand tools. Most observers find one length they like and stick with it, but the option is there.
Already have a JMI tow handle installed?
