Cheap Load Binder | Load Binder Supplier

The primary function of load binders is to securely tighten and hold chains in place, providing load restraint during transportation. They are used to create tension in the chains, eliminating slack and ensuring a secure connection between the cargo and the transportation vehicle. Load binders enable users to control the amount of tension applied to the chains, allowing for safe and reliable load securement. They play a vital role in preventing load movement, shifting, or falling off trucks, trailers, or other transport vehicles.

Lever Binders are the most common type of chain binder and use an “over center" lever action to tighten or “bind" the chain. These binders are often considered more dangerous than other types as they can snap when released from the load shifting etc. and strike the operator when releasing. Combination winch bars or “cheater bars" are commonly used to tighten or lock down lever type chain binders. We offer lever type chain binders that work with chain sizes 1/4" – 5/8" and a variety of chain grades.

Ratchet Binders utilize a ratcheting mechanism and handle to operate. These binders have threaded hook ends that are tightened or loosed by operating the handle. These binders are much safer than lever type and are preferred by many fleets for this reason. We offer ratchet type chain binders that work with chain sizes 1/4" – 5/8" and a variety of chain grades.

The process of using load binders involves several steps. Firstly, assess the load weight, chain size, and tensioning requirements to determine the appropriate load binder type and size. Inspect the load binder for any visible defects or damage before use. Attach the load binder to the chains, ensuring proper engagement with the end fittings. Apply tension to the chains using the load binder's tensioning mechanism, whether it is a lever or ratchet system. Monitor the tension and ensure that the chains are securely tightened. Finally, regularly check the load binder and the load for any signs of loosening or shifting during transportation, making adjustments as necessary to maintain load security.

Proper usage of load binders is essential to ensure load securement and prevent accidents or damage. It is important to select the appropriate load binder based on load requirements, working load limits, and chain size. Users should receive proper training on load binder usage, including correct tensioning techniques and safety guidelines. Regular inspection and maintenance of load binders are necessary to identify any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. Compliance with industry regulations and standards is crucial to ensure load securement and transportation safety.
