Load Binder Ratchet 5/16″ – 3/8″

Description

Product Description:

Built for durability, strength, and efficient operation, this heavy-duty ratchet load binder features drop-forged steel construction and a convenient ratcheting mechanism for controlled chain tensioning. The binder is designed to provide reliable performance for demanding cargo-securing and transportation applications.

A durable Orange E-coat finish helps protect the binder against moisture, corrosion, and harsh weather conditions, helping extend its service life in demanding outdoor environments. The pinned barrel and one-piece handle with ball-and-lever release mechanism provide smooth and efficient operation for tightening and releasing the chain.

Built-in thread stops help prevent over-extension of the threaded barrel, helping maintain proper thread engagement and reducing the risk of compromising load-carrying capacity.

Available Sizes:

The ratchet load binder is available in two size ranges:

• 5/16 in. – 3/8 in. – Accepts 5/16 in. Grade 70 (G70) chain and 3/8 in. Grade 43 (G43) chain.
• 3/8 in. – 1/2 in. – Designed for larger chain sizes and heavier-duty cargo-securing applications.

Easy to Operate:

Simply attach the appropriate chain links securely into the binder hooks and operate the ratchet handle to gradually tighten the chain. The ratcheting mechanism provides controlled tensioning and makes it easier to achieve the desired chain tension.

Before releasing tension, always ensure that the chain links are securely seated in the hooks and follow proper load-release procedures.

Key Features:

• Drop-forged steel construction for strength and durability
• Durable red E-coat finish for added corrosion and weather protection
• Ratchet mechanism for controlled and efficient tensioning
• One-piece handle with ball-and-lever release mechanism
• Pinned barrel for smooth operation
• Built-in thread stops help prevent over-extension
• Available in 5/16 in. – 3/8 in. and 3/8 in. – 1/2 in. sizes
• Suitable for heavy-duty cargo and load-securing applications

Safety Information:

Failure to follow proper operating and cargo-securement procedures may result in serious personal injury, property damage, or loss of life.

• Never exceed the Working Load Limit (WLL) specified for the particular binder.
• Use only compatible, properly rated chains and hardware.
• Ensure chain links are fully and securely seated in the hooks before applying or releasing tension.
• Use extreme caution when tightening and releasing the binder.
• Inspect the binder, hooks, threads, and chain before each use for cracks, deformation, excessive wear, corrosion, or other damage.
• Follow applicable U.S. DOT/FMCSA cargo-securement requirements, including 49 CFR Parts 392–393, to determine the appropriate number of tie-downs and hardware required for the load.

Important: The Working Load Limit varies according to the binder size and the complete cargo-securement system. Always use the rated capacity specified for the particular size/model and never exceed the capacity of the lowest-rated component.
