pullable

Able to tug

Pullable describes something that can be pulled—capable of being drawn toward oneself, tugged, or dragged.

A lever might be pullable, a tab on a package, or a handle on a door.

The word appears most often in technical contexts describing user interfaces or mechanical components: The menu is pullable from the left edge of the screen.
