Hold On! Hammond Electronics Expand Handle Range

The handles family consists of six main types: round steel bar, styled plastic and aluminium, plastic, square and oval aluminium, flexible vinyl carry and lift-up. The handles are available in a choice of finishes to complement or contrast with the equipment to which they are fitted: depending on the material and style, they are available in chrome plate, black plasticised coating, natural anodised or black anodised.

Many types are sized for use on the front of panels or subracks from 1U to 8U high. For mounting on the sides of enclosures, the heavy-duty lift-up designs are rated at up to 150kg (330 lbs) per pair. Each family offers a particular combination of strength and aesthetics, ensuring that designers can combine the load carrying and functional requirements of the handle with a pleasing overall appearance.
