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.

• This type of chain binder generally requires more strength to tighten it.

• Lever binders are generally easier to install because it has fewer moving parts

Both lever binders and ratchet binders work similarly, and should be chosen based on operator preference.
