Genuine Chereau Easy Bulkhead handle assemblies
The Easy Bulkhead handle assembly is the operating mechanism for Chereau's removable internal bulkhead system. It is a wear component - handles are operated repeatedly during loading cycles and are subject to mechanical stress from use in cold store environments. When the handle mechanism fails, a replacement OEM assembly is the correct solution, as the geometry and operating action of the Chereau system is specific to their design.
As the sole UK distributor for Chereau parts, Truckstop Group supplies genuine handle assemblies for the Easy Bulkhead system directly to UK operators and trailer repair workshops. To confirm the correct handle assembly for your trailer, have the VIN available when calling - handle designs have been updated across Chereau's production run, and specifying by VIN avoids ordering an incompatible variant.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if the Easy Bulkhead handle needs replacing rather than repairing?
If the handle mechanism fails to fully engage the locking arrangement, is physically cracked or deformed, or the return spring has broken, replacement is the correct course of action. Minor adjustment or lubrication may resolve stiff operation, but a structurally compromised handle should be replaced before it fails in service.
Is the Chereau Easy Bulkhead handle the same across all trailer models?
Handle designs vary across Chereau's model range and production years. Confirm the correct assembly by VIN or by calling us with the trailer's build details. Fitting an incorrect handle variant may result in the locking mechanism not engaging correctly.
How long does it take to replace an Easy Bulkhead handle?
An experienced Chereau trailer technician can replace the handle assembly in under an hour on most configurations. Having the replacement part confirmed and in hand before starting the job avoids unnecessary vehicle downtime.
Do you stock handle assemblies for all Chereau Easy Bulkhead variants?
We stock assemblies for the current and recent Chereau production range. Some older variants may require a sourcing lead time. Call us with the trailer VIN to confirm current stock availability.
