Loadbinders

Loadbinders, also known as chain binders or chain tensioners, are heavy-duty tools used to securely tighten steel chains around large, heavy or uneven cargo for transport. By properly tensioning the chains, loadbinders help to prevent loads from slipping or falling during transport, ensuring that they do not pose a hazard to other vehicles or personnel.

What Are the Different Types of Loadbinders?

There are two distinct types of loadbinders: ratchet loadbinders and lever loadbinders.

  • Lever loadbinders are tightened using a simple lever, with a tension hook on each end. They require the person installing the binder to apply a fair amount of force in order to tighten and secure the chain properly. These loadbinders tend to be faster to operate, however require significant physical strength to lock down and pose a risk of "kick back" or injury if not handled properly. 
     
  • Ratchet loadbinders have two tension hooks on each end and a handle that serves as a lever. These loadbinders require much less pulling force than lever loadbinders, allowing the user to tighten chains to the desired tension without excessive physical effort. Ratchet loadbinders are generally considered safer because they do not "kick back" if released.
