An offset handle assembly for use on a vehicle or structure comprising a tray that has a front side and back side, which also defines a recess. A handle is pivotal with respect to the tray. The handle is substantially located on the front side of the tray, and within the recess. A mechanical linkage is operatively connected to the handle. The mechanical linkage operates when the handle is turned. Also, an operating mechanism is operatively connected to the mechanical linkage. The operating mechanism is disposed on the back side of the tray and adjacent the recess so as to be laterally offset from the handle. Operation of the mechanical linkage causes the operating mechanism to operate.
