Ergotron Dual Monitor & Handle Kit
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ergotron Dual Monitor & Handle Kit for Interactive Arm HD (97-718-009) - Local Warranty
Converts an Interactive Arm HD From One Display to Two
This kit takes a single-monitor mount and makes it carry two, with a handle so the pair can be repositioned as one. Ergotron lists it under the Interactive HD heading of its Interactive Arm product sheet as "Dual Monitor & Handle Kit (black) 97-718-009".
6–18 lb (2.7–8.2 kg) per Monitor, 9–36 lb (4.1–16.3 kg) Combined
Ergotron's guide gives a genuine range rather than a maximum: each display must weigh 6–18 lb (2.7–8.2 kg), with a combined load of 9–36 lb (4.1–16.3 kg). The minimum matters as much as the maximum — a counterbalanced arm needs load to work properly.
Budget 6 lb (2.7 kg) Against the Arm's Capacity
Ergotron is explicit that the kit itself adds 6 lb (2.7 kg) to your mounting solution, and that the arm's monitor weight capacity must be reduced by that amount. Displays thicker than 2.5" (64 mm) require a further reduction — check both before ordering.
Mounting Patterns 100 x 100, 200 x 100 and 50 x 50 mm
The kit's own guide prints three hole patterns: 100 x 100 mm, 200 x 100 mm and 50 x 50 mm, which covers standard desktop monitors and the smaller patterns used by compact and medical-grade panels.

Compatibility & Fit
Read this before ordering: Ergotron sells two different products under the name "Dual Monitor & Handle Kit", and they are for different arms. This one, 97-718-009, is listed by Ergotron under Interactive HD — it is the kit for the Interactive Arm HD. The other, 97-783, appears on Ergotron's LX Sit-Stand monitor arm sheet. Ergotron publishes no comparison between them and no statement that either can substitute for the other, so order by the arm you own.
Display fit has three tests. Each monitor must weigh 6–18 lb (2.7–8.2 kg); the pair together must fall within 9–36 lb (4.1–16.3 kg); and the hole pattern must be 100 x 100, 200 x 100 or 50 x 50 mm. Note the minimum as well as the maximum — a counterbalanced arm under-loaded will drift upward.
Then adjust the arm: the kit adds 6 lb (2.7 kg) of its own, and Ergotron requires the mounting solution's monitor capacity to be reduced by that figure, with a further reduction for displays over 2.5" (64 mm) thick. Ergotron publishes no screen-size range or degrees of motion for this kit, so we state none.
Package Contents & Interactive Arm Ordering Information
Ergotron does not publish a discrete parts list for this kit. Its user guide shows M4, M5 and M6 bolts in a range of lengths, washers and the adjustment tooling across the assembly steps, but prints no itemised quantities — so we have not invented one.

Ergotron's live product page for 97-718-009 no longer resolves; the base part 97-718 remains published on Ergotron's regional sites. The user guide above is titled for the Interactive Arm and is the source of the weight and hole-pattern figures on this page, though it prints no part number itself. The dimensional drawing likewise carries no part number, so read it as a drawing rather than as a labelled specification.
Frequently Asked Questions — Ergotron Dual Monitor & Handle Kit (Interactive Arm HD)
Which arm does this kit fit?
Ergotron lists 97-718-009 under Interactive HD in its Interactive Arm product sheet, so it is the dual kit for the Interactive Arm HD.
How is it different from 97-783, which has the same name?
The host arm. This one is listed for the Interactive Arm HD; 97-783 is shown on Ergotron's LX Sit-Stand monitor arm sheet. Ergotron publishes no comparison and no interchangeability statement, so order by the arm you have — and ask us if you are unsure which arm is installed.
What weight of monitors does it take?
6–18 lb (2.7–8.2 kg) each and 9–36 lb (4.1–16.3 kg) combined. The minimum is not a typo — a counterbalanced arm needs a minimum load to hold position.
Does fitting it reduce what the arm can carry?
Yes. The kit adds 6 lb (2.7 kg), and Ergotron requires the arm's monitor weight capacity to be reduced by that amount. Displays thicker than 2.5" (64 mm) need a further reduction.
What VESA patterns does it support?
The guide prints 100 x 100 mm, 200 x 100 mm and 50 x 50 mm.
What size screens will it hold?
Ergotron publishes no screen-size range for this part. Weight and hole pattern are the specifications to work to. An earlier version of this page stated 14 lb per monitor and a 24-inch limit; neither figure appears in any Ergotron document and both have been corrected.
Does it come with a warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every Ergotron Dual Monitor & Handle Kit sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice. Ergotron's current published warranty schedule (rev. 4 August 2026) sets terms by product category and has no category covering accessories or kits of this type, so we do not quote a manufacturer duration on this page — ask us and we will confirm the current term with Ergotron for your order.
