XRSICKT Member 1,032 Member For: 22y 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/04/07 08:13 AM Author Share Posted 14/04/07 08:13 AM To make a really long story short, I’m working on a project at the moment that involves installing Windows CE based terminal in our fleet of trucks, now this unit has a custom built program on it where the truck driver is able to record instances of things ( I can go into full detail if someone likes). I am in the Recycling services business and that is what these are for so I have built a demo unit on a mini wheel bin which I’ve also built with the unit sitting on top and all the wiring inside the lid. As you can see by the picture it is a rather small bin and is at times difficult to move around and I was thinking a retractable handle at the back of the bin would be a perfect solution for that.

So it folds down at the back when not in use. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34167-retractable-handle/#findComment-521428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
