How long is the Tailwind Drive-Thru Handle?

Why choose a Tailwind Drive-Thru Handle?
Tailwind Drive-Thru Handles are designed to make drive-thru payment transactions easier for both employees and customers. The ergonomic handle design allows staff to comfortably present the payment terminal for chip card insertion, contactless payments, PIN entry, and signature capture, while integrated cable management helps keep cables protected during everyday use.
Do I need the optional Wall Mount Kit?

What's the difference between Tailwind and DCCStands drive-thru mounting solutions?
Tailwind Drive-Thru Handles are designed for handheld payment presentation using a lightweight composite handle that employees extend to customers. DCCStands drive-thru mounting solutions are designed for fixed window installations where the payment terminal remains mounted while tilting toward the customer. The best choice depends on your workflow and preferred method of presenting the payment terminal.
How does the Tailwind latching mechanism work?
