Abstract
A lightweight handle for containers is adjustable to permit the carrying, transporting and storage of containers of different sizes. The handle comprises an upper portion which is pivotally connected to a lower portion. The pivot is closer to one of the two longitudinal members of the upper portion so that in a first orientation, the space between the upper portion and the base of the lower frame can accommodate containers of larger size. In the second orientation, the other longitudinal member of the upper portion is in the bottom position, thereby reducing the space between the upper portion and the base of the frame for carrying smaller containers.
