Embodiments may comprise a folding transfer handle having a mounting bracket. A mounting bracket may include a base wall adapted to engage an arbitrary surface in a fixed mounting relation. Embodiments may further include a handle member such as a bar having a free end, and a pivot end. The length of the handle member may be approximately equal to the width of the palm of an adult human hand. The pivot end of the handle member may include a means for engaging the mounting bracket in a pivotal relation defining a 90 degree range of motion between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration.
