This ratchet chain binder is designed for use with transport chain to secure loads to flatbeds. Typically used for heavy equipment and other more robust loads, chain binders help get cargo from point A to point B safely.
One of the main advantages of this ratchet binder is the three-position pawl. It has three gears - ratchet extension, ratchet take-up, and free-spin. Free-spin mode lets you quickly adjust in either direction, so you can adjust the slack in the chain very quickly!
The folding handle lets you easily position it out of the way, and it can even be padlocked (using a long-shank padlock) for theft prevention!
With forged, yellow zinc-plated grab hooks, a vinyl-coated barrel, and a high visibility yellow powder coat on the body, these ratchet binders are resistant to corrosion and the elements.
The primary difference between a ratchet binder and a lever binder is the tensioning method. A ratchet binder a ratcheting mechanism instead of leverage to add tension. This is by far the safer option - they store very little kinetic energy in the handle, reducing recoil and snapback-related injuries. They also allow for more better control over the tension, as you can make more incremental adjustments, and don't require a handle lock.
All of our chain binders are FMCSA / DOT compliant and meet or exceed WSTDA T-6 Recommended Standards. This ensures quick identifications and stress-free inspections.
