MaxQ/Max+ cooler users...

Has anyone successfully replaced the telescoping luggage handles on their MaxQ coolers, either with manufacturer provided replacements or "after-market" parts (Amazon?)?

We have been using (and loving) our MaxQ coolers for about 4.5 years now. so much so that we've banged up the telescoping luggage handles pretty good.

When querying the manufacturer about replacing the handles, they say "Nope!  Gotta replace the whole box!"

Is it this one?

The handle looks rather specific and integrated.  That might be hard to replace.

Have you talked with your Biomed folks?  Often, they can work miracles.

That's the one! And the handle is integrated, but has 2 little screws that allow it to be removed the rest of the integrated assembly.  Should be an easy replacement, once we find a match!  (We're doing the legwork on this particular project, as our Biomed is very busy!)

I've reached out to the vendor and said they don't sell the just the luggage handles. We ended up purchasing new integrated MAXQ coolers.

WE ran into this with their MTP coolers - even bought 6ft zip ties to try to ziptie it to the box.  Nope. Had to buy a new MTP cooler which has doubled in price and is almost entirely different than the original.

Sad to hear this.  We love our MaxQ coolers and MTP coolers and will probably have to replace the whole thing when the handles go out.  Boo
