load binder

What is the load binder? load binder Load binder also called chain binders , it is a device to tighten chain when securing a load for transport. There are two general styles of chain binders – ratchet binder and lever binder . The method of tightening the binder is what differentiates the two. Ratchet Binder Uses a ratcheting action to create tension in the chain. Also called a ratchet load binder or simply a ratchet chain, it consists of two tension hooks on each end and handles. Because ratchet binders are designed with a gear, handle, pawl, and end fittings, it will not store as much energy in the handle like a lever binder will. A ratchet-type binder is easier to adjust in finer increments without the recoil or snap back effect of a lever binder. Uses a leverage action to create tension in the  chain  and stores kinetic energy in its handle. Also called a lever chain, lever load binder, or snap binder, it has a tension hook on each end. ...
