A vehicle grab handle has a central body 26 with attachment means 28 for mounting the grab handle and at least one shoulder extension 20 with a free end 16 and a secured end and moveable between a stored and an extended position. In the stored position the free end is integrated with the central body. In the deployed position the free end is extended away from the central body to define a coat-hanger. There may be two shoulder extensions. The shoulder extensions may be telescopic (fig 10) or may feature a shoulder flare 24 at the free end. The shoulder extensions may be rotatably or slidably mounted to the central body. The extensions may be mounted in a guide means, which may comprise a gear with teeth (fig 9) or a rubberised roller (fig 8). The guide means may interconnect the two extensions to cause movement of one extension if the other is deployed.
