Philip Perkins Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm wanting to add some lift handles to a cart, but the lip of the shelves they have to bolt to is only about 1" high. Ideally the handle would be about 12" long, and through-bolt (somehow). Has anyone found a handle like this ready-made? (I'm not much of a machinist.)

Over the years I have found various handles that would meet your needs, looking mostly at RV supply stores (handles available as grab bars for interiors of trailers, RVs) and also at marine supply, like West Marine. I have had to find handles for the bottom front of my carts that have only 1" aluminum channel stock to bolt to. Some of the bars/handles that I found did have to be drilled out to accommodate a through bolt mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete D Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-pull-handles/=18uqi1x McMaster has a bunch of options if you're comfortable wading through their catalog. Check out the Aluminum or Steel cut-to-length handles for a custom fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Rosati Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have this handle on the front of my 80/20 cart, and have added it to other carts I've built: https://www.grainger.com/product/MONROE-PMP-Steel-Pull-Handle-with-Polished-4KZZ5?internalSearchTerm=Steel+Pull+Handle+with+Polished+Chrome+Finish%2C+Silver%3B+Hardware+Not+Included&suggestConfigId=8&searchBar=true&suggestConfigId=8&searchBar=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think Phil nailed it for Phil --- from Grainger, pass through bolting, narrow, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
