handleable

Can be held

Handleable means capable of being handled or managed.

Something handleable is within one's ability to deal with—not too heavy, complex, or overwhelming: The workload is heavy but handleable.

The word is informal and somewhat awkward; manageable is the more natural choice in most contexts.
