Hollow Handles: Keep Loads Away from the Opening

Identify the handle joints

Identify the hollow handle and its attachment points. Protection should support the item body rather than transfer the box load onto a thin loop.

Avoid a restraint through the loop

Do not run a tight restraint through the handle opening merely because it is accessible. Tension may concentrate force on one small area instead of the whole body.

Map support points

Sketch the body, handle and nearest box wall. Identify support positions that avoid rubbing the finish or pressing on the handle's joints. If the body rests on a broad base and its handle projects above it, prevent the box wall from loading the handle. Do not wedge the opening with rigid fill.

Review clearance before sealing

Request an image showing clearance around the handle before sealing, if packing review is available. The image records the arrangement; it does not guarantee damage-free transport.
