The M286-8 is a pair of 6.0" spring-locked folding handles made from chrome plated steel. It is designed for enclosures, cases and equipment that need a strong, compact carry handle that folds flat when not in use.

The drawing specifies CR steel as the handle material with a bright chrome plated finish. Each handle is 6.0" (152.4 mm) long and 1.73" (43.9 mm) high, with 6.7" (170.4 mm) hole-to-hole mounting centers.

Mounting is through threaded M8 x 1.25 6g studs with ø18.00 mm [0.709 in] bosses. Hardware is included; per the drawing that is 4 M8 nuts and 4 washers. The part page lists the size as 1.73 in x 6 in x 0.4 in (44 mm x 152 mm x 10 mm).

The handles are sold in pairs, ship at 0.75 lbs (0.34 kg), and are RoHS and REACH compliant. For a shorter version with 3.9" (99 mm) centers, see the M286-6.

For purchasing and inventory, the M286-8 carries UPC 623980031699 and UNSPSC 39121301. Because the handle folds down and spring-locks, it stays out of the way when the case is stacked or stored.
