David Waelder Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Chinhda just made up a batch of folding handles for sound carts. This is one of the few accessories not developed for use on a Chinhda Cart. (His cart designs already incorporate hand-holds.) These folding handles are made for use on Mag-Liner carts or any other design with a suitable mounting point. They are very strong and can easily handle carts of several hundred pounds. The handle grips are cross-hatched and more than an inch-and-a-quarter in diameter to provide a firm grip. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskellett Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 HI Dave, Do these handles lock into place or are they one way only ( either you can pull up on them or push down on them but not both )? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Waelder Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 As presently configured, they are one way only. In a typical installation, they would fold down when not needed. When confronted with stairs or a curb, they would be folded up to help lift the cart. If you wanted something that would permit pushing down (still trying to wrap my mind around a circumstance where that might be useful), it would probably be possible to reconfigure them. A solid pin screwed into the mounting plate just below the machined stop would prevent the handle from folding down. This might even be removable so one could unscrew it to permit folding the handle down again. Installing such a pin would cost a bit extra and, obviously, it would no longer be possible to fold the handles out of the way when not needed.

chriskellett Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Dave, Thanks for the update, I currently us my handles on my Magliner for hanging bags on when the top shelf get a bit crowded and I also push the cart with them from time to time in addition to lifting the cart over curbs. I like the idea of fold away handles, nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The problem with handles machined that beautifully on an existing cart is it could give the rest of the cart an inferiority complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seriously. Those look so nice I want to put them on things that don't even need handles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
