The Lift-Assist Handle for PGS Legacy Grills

Opening the lid of a barbecue grill is usually simple—until it’s not. For people with physical limitations, such as those using a wheelchair, recovering from an injury, or with one arm in a sling, even basic tasks like lifting a grill lid can become frustrating. That’s where the lift-assist handle comes in. Designed to make grilling more accessible, this feature ensures that everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can enjoy the convenience and joy of cooking outdoors.

PGS has introduced lift-assist handles specifically for their Legacy series grills, making them a top choice for accessibility. These grills are already known for their durability, performance, and innovative design. Now, with the addition of a lift-assist handle, they’re even more user-friendly. Whether you're in an apartment complex, a multi-family home, or a commercial setting, these grills offer a seamless grilling experience for all users.

According to the CDC, 26% of U.S. adults have some form of disability that affects daily activities, but doesn't prevent them from living independently. That’s 61 million people. By incorporating features like the lift-assist handle, PGS helps ensure that more individuals can enjoy the same outdoor cooking experiences as others.

What Is a Lift-Assist Handle?

The lift-assist handle is a specialized device designed for PGS Legacy and T-series grills. It features a grip that remains within easy reach, even when the lid is raised. This makes it much easier to open and close the lid without straining or reaching too far. The handle also keeps users safely away from the flames, adding a layer of safety to the grilling process.

This isn’t just for people with disabilities—it’s a convenient feature for anyone who wants to make grilling simpler. After a long day, being able to open your grill with just a turn of the wrist can be a small but meaningful comfort.

PGS offers three models of lift-assist handles—LAHK27, LAHK36, and LAHK48—each tailored for different models in the Legacy series. With over 56 years of experience in grill manufacturing, PGS continues to lead in innovation and quality, backed by a strong warranty that covers key components like burners, grids, and side shelves.

LAHK27 – For the Legacy Newport Series

The LAHK27 is ideal for the S27 and S27R models, which are compact but powerful. These 30-inch grills deliver 45,000 BTUs from two stainless steel burners and offer versatility for both casual and serious cooks. The S27R adds a 12,000 BTU infrared rotisserie burner for added functionality.

With the LAHK27, opening the lid becomes effortless. Whether you're hosting a backyard cookout or preparing food for a group, this handle makes the process smooth and safe. It also fits the S27T, a commercial model used in condos and restaurants, featuring a gas shutoff timer for added safety.

LAHK36 – For the Pacifica Series

The LAHK36 is designed for the 39-inch S36 and S36R models. These grills come with three stainless steel burners, flare guard rock grates, and side beverage holders. The LAHK36 allows for easy lid operation, even with the larger cooking surface.

The S36T, the commercial version, is popular among building managers due to its durability and energy-saving timer. Equipped with the LAHK36, it becomes even more user-friendly for all types of users.

LAHK48 – For the Big Sur Series

The LAHK48 is built for the 51-inch S48R, offering four burners and 960 square inches of cooking space. Despite its size, the lift-assist handle makes it easy to open and close the lid, ensuring accessibility for all users.

The S48T, the commercial counterpart, shares the same powerful features and includes a gas shutoff timer. With the LAHK48, even the heaviest lid becomes manageable with just a simple motion.

Quality Meets Accessibility

PGS has been a leader in grill technology for over five decades, known for reliability, performance, and innovation. Now, the company is taking accessibility to the next level with lift-assist handles that make grilling more inclusive.

When you choose a PGS grill with a lift-assist handle, you're investing in a product that's not only durable and efficient but also designed to accommodate a wider range of users. This makes it perfect for families, communities, and businesses looking for practical and accessible outdoor cooking solutions.

PGS also offers an accessible cart (sold separately) that pairs perfectly with the lift-assist handle, creating a complete and user-friendly grilling setup.
