Tray handle design with multiple functions
A planar module tray includes a bottom panel, first and second side panels, and a handle. The first side panel is in physical communication with a first edge of the bottom panel. The second side panel is in physical communication with a second edge of the bottom panel. The handle is in physical communication with and securely mounted on both of the first and second side panels. The handle transitions between a horizontal position and a vertical position. When the handle is in the horizontal position, the handle is in physical communication with the bottom panel. When the handle is in the vertical position, the handle is perpendicular to the bottom panel.
