The M286-6 is a pair of spring-locked folding handles in chrome plated steel, intended for carrying equipment cases, enclosures and instruments. When folded, the handle lies down against the mounting surface; when raised it locks for carrying.

The series lists a carry capacity of 220 lbs. (100 kg) per pair. Each handle is 4.6" (118 mm) long and 1.7" (42 mm) high, with 3.9" (99 mm) hole-to-hole mounting centers. The drawing gives 118.00 mm [4.646 in] length, 43.17 mm [1.700 in] height and 100.00 mm [3.937 in] between the mounting studs, which are threaded M8 x 1.25 6g with ø18.00 mm [0.709 in] bosses.

The part page lists the size as 1.73 in x 4 in x 0.4 in (44 mm x 102 mm x 10 mm). Hardware is included, and the handles are sold in pairs.

Shipping weight is 0.65 lbs (0.29 kg). The M286-6 is RoHS and REACH compliant. For a longer handle, the M286-8 offers 6.7" (170.4 mm) mounting centers.

For purchasing and inventory, the M286-6 carries UPC 623980791401 and UNSPSC 39121301.

Because the handle folds down and spring-locks, it stays out of the way when the case is stacked or stored.
