1. A chassis system comprising:
a housing including first and second sides spaced apart along a lateral axis to define an interior, the first and second sides also extending along a forward-rearward axis between a front of the housing and a rear of the housing, the first side including a channel extending along the forward-rearward axis, a forward recess, and a rearward recess spaced along the channel from the forward recess; and
a blade mountable to the housing to move along the forward-rearward axis between a retracted position and an extended position, which is located further forward along the forward-rearward axis than the retracted position, the blade carrying a latching arrangement, the latching arrangement including:
a first stop member movably coupled to the blade between a biased position and a deflected position, the first stop member being aligned with the forward recess when the blade is disposed in the retracted position;
a second stop member movably coupled to the blade between a biased position and a deflected position, the second stop member being aligned with the rearward recess when the blade is disposed in the retracted position and being aligned with the forward recess when the blade is disposed in the extended position;
a resilient member that biases the first and second stop members laterally outwardly to the biased positions; and
a handle mounted to the blade and accessible at the front of the housing, the handle being configured to move relative to the resilient member between a non-actuated position and an actuated position, wherein moving the handle to the actuated position causes movement of only the first stop member to the deflected position against a bias of the resilient member.
