Few parts – many possibilities
Put handles, display and other devices where you want them. Re-organize their positions on the
fixture easily when installed on the line. Maybe the line changes and the fixture is better used in
a vertical orientation instead of horizontal – no problem, move handles and suspension eye and
you’ve got what you need.
