Luggage lifting point

A carrying handle is a grip attached to an object to make it portable: The toolbox has a sturdy carrying handle.

Common on luggage, coolers, and equipment cases.

On firearms, particularly rifles like the M16, the carrying handle is a raised structure on top of the receiver that doubles as a mounting point for sights.
