I need a 3-pole safety disconnect switch rated at 208V / 60A, unfused. I can find one at any of several equipment suppliers, except for this requirement: I need the operating handle to be on the left side of the cabinet.
The location of the equipment is such that a right-handed switch will require either locating the switch in an inconvenient location or moving the equipment.
Does anyone make disconnects with a left-oriented operating handle?
Won't the unit turn upside down ? Some I've seen in the past do this as the switch handle still rotates the same way to connect/disconnect.

The kind I'm familiar with are knife switches with a handle on the side that pushes up and down (not rotates). Such as:

Ideally, you would require an actuating handle which is independant of left or right handed operation.
Have you considered using a panel mount non-lockable handle mechanism such as this
This can be mounted to a 3 pole switch such as backpanel XA063BY
