Lever load binders are a staple of the trucking and transportation industry. They are used to tension transport chain, keeping your load securely anchored to a flatbed or other trailer. However, they can be dangerous due to the kinetic energy that's stored in the handle - that's why you should choose this recoil-less lever binder!
With a 3-pivot cam-action handle, it's one of the safest binders on the market today. It features a center cam that can rotate independently of the end hooks, eliminating the kick back that typically occurs when the chain tension is released.
This lever load binder has a forged carbon steel body and handle. The forged steel is more durable than a cast handle - it can withstand much more force without breaking and ensures maximum leverage. Ours uses slightly larger threads than most of our competitors as well for a more heavy-duty hold.
The 360-degree swivel motion handle is quick and easy to operate, no tools required, and the grab hooks on each end create secure attachment points - their shallow throats are readily compatible with chain links.
The long-lasting, scratch-resistant powder coating is added using an electrostatic process. This involves high temperatures (approximately 270 degrees) which ensures heat-resistance as well.
The primary difference between a ratchet binder and a snap binder is the tensioning method. A lever binder uses leverage instead of a ratcheting mechanism. While it often comes down to personal preference, some of the main advantages of a lever binder are less maintenance (due to the smaller number of moving parts) and faster operation. Compared to standard lever type binders, this anti-kickback binder also has an additional benefit: the handle allows the user to safely release the tension without whip lash.
Note: DO NOT use with a cheater bar, as they can increase your risk of injury.
All of our chain binders are FMCSA / DOT compliant and meet or exceed WSTDA T-6 Recommended Standards. The working load limit and traceability code are embossed on the handle / body and the hooks have grade and size markings. This ensures quick identifications and stress-free inspections.

And don't forget the lever binder lock to prevent the handle from releasing during transport. It's a great alternative to wrapping the chain around the handle.
