The Ergotron 97-718-009 Dual Monitor & Handle Kit is a mounting accessory designed to support two displays on compatible monitor arms and mounting systems. It can convert a suitable single-monitor mount into a dual-display configuration or accommodate larger displays on selected dual-monitor solutions.
Designed for interactive-arm applications, this black mounting kit includes a horizontal support bow, two monitor mounting brackets, a repositioning handle and installation hardware. Its cable-routing design helps keep display connections organized behind the monitors.

Monitor Compatibility and Load Requirements
This kit is optimized for two displays with an outside width of approximately 21–24.5 inches (53–62 cm) per monitor. Check the actual width of each display rather than relying on diagonal screen size alone. Displays outside the supported width range may not fit correctly.
The combined display weight must not exceed 36 lb (16.4 kg). The kit adds approximately 6 lb (2.7 kg) to the mounting assembly, so the supporting arm's permitted load capacity must be checked and adjusted accordingly. Additional capacity reduction may be necessary for thicker displays. When used as a replacement bow on compatible WorkFit Dual products, the manufacturer's stated capacity exception may apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Ergotron 97-718-009 used for?
It allows two compatible monitors to be mounted on a suitable monitor arm or dual-display mounting system.
2. What monitor sizes does it support?
It is optimized for displays around 23–24 inches, with many compatible models in the approximately 22–26-inch range. Actual monitor width is an important compatibility requirement.
3. What is the maximum combined monitor weight?
The two displays together must weigh no more than 36 lb (16.4 kg). The supporting mount must also accommodate the kit's additional weight.
4. Does the kit include the handle and mounting hardware?
Yes. The package includes the support bow, two mounting brackets, repositioning handle and mounting hardware.
5. Is it compatible with every monitor arm?
No. The arm must have a compatible mounting interface. Check the arm model, mounting pattern, load rating and display dimensions before purchasing.
DC Supplies Product Note
Before ordering, verify the mounting interface, the outside width and weight of both monitors, and the remaining capacity of the supporting arm. Compatibility depends on the complete mounting setup, not just the monitor's screen size.
