What are the main types of chain binders?

Lever binders and Ratchet binders are the main types of binders you’ll find. The lever binder has two tension hooks that are connected to a lever that pulls the two ends toward each other. The ratchet binder features two hooks connected to a ratchet that gradually pulls them closer.

How much weight can a chain binder hold?

A typical chain binder can only support up to 5,400 lbs. At this rating, you’ll be able to tighten your 5/16" or 3/8" grade 70 chains and still meet the WLL of 6,600 lbs that a 3/8" chain is rated for. Ratcheting binders and Lever Binders have varying load capacities and working load limits that make them capable of hauling extreme loads.

How many chain binders do I need?

A chain binder creates a tension point using two heavy-duty chains. For each chain tie-down, only one chain binder should be used. The amount you need depends on the amount of chain tie-downs you’ll have.

How do I choose a chain size?

Choosing the best chain size for the job depends on your load’s weight, as well as how long and tall it is. Keep in mind that each chain size has both a different WLL and breaking strength.

How many chains does it take to secure a load?

For any load, you should always have at least four securement points. Using four chains provides optimal protection and securement of your cargo.

Which is stronger, a chain or a strap?

Both chains and straps are made pretty strong. The only question is which will be more beneficial to your job. Chains have higher working load limits but straps aren’t as harsh to use over your load.

What are chain binders made of?

Chain binders are made of high-strength carbon steel making securing large and heavy loads simple.

Which Grade Chain should I use?

Choosing the right transport chain can sometimes be challenging if you’re just getting your feet wet in the trucking business. There are tons of factors to consider, but the main ones are load type and the truck you’re operating. Using your chain boomers properly over your load could also ensure you’re following DOT regulations.
