Columbus McKinnon is a trusted manufactured in the trucking and transportation industry. Their ratchet binders are made in the USA and are a popular choice for securing loads to flatbeds with transport chain. Typically used for heavy equipment and other more robust loads, chain binders help get cargo from point A to point B safely.
The forged steel construction offers superior strength, while an orange powder coated finish protects the domestic ratchet load binder from the elements. Designed with gears permanently welded to the barrel for long-lasting quality.
The handle has an open design with self-locking, one-way bolts so it's easy to remove debris, mud, ice, or snow and get back on the road quickly.
Proof tested to 50% of the minimum breaking strength
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 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.
Save by buying domestically-made chain and binders together in our made-in-USA chain and binder kits.
