WHAT IS A RATCHET LOAD BINDER?
Ratchet load binders, or chain binders, are a commonly used tool to secure cargo during transportation. Typically, a load binder is used in the trucking, shipping and logistics industries to secure loads on flatbed trailers, trucks and other vehicles.
The primary purpose of a ratchet binder is to use tension chains or straps in order to hold the goods in place, preventing them from shifting or falling during transit. The simple manual operation of the level extends or retracts the treaded spindles ideal for tightening and straining lashing chains.

Ratchet Load Binder FAQs
To select the correct ratchet load binder, consider factors such as the type of load being transported, the material (chain or webbing), the maximum weight capacity, and the environment (e.g., exposure to moisture or chemicals). Ensure the binder is rated for the required load and suitable for the specific transport conditions.
Yes, ratchet load binders are commonly used for securing heavy machinery and equipment during transport. They provide a reliable and adjustable means of ensuring the machinery stays in place, even over long distances or uneven roads. Ensure that the binder's load capacity exceeds the weight of the machinery being transported.
Yes, ratchet load binders can be used in adverse weather conditions, such as rain or snow, but it's important to choose a model that is rust-resistant or coated for corrosion protection. Stainless steel or galvanized binders are excellent options for environments that experience harsh weather conditions.
Ratchet load binders are highly versatile and can be used to secure irregularly shaped loads. Their adjustable tensioning mechanism allows you to apply pressure at different angles and ensure the load is tightly secured, even if it has uneven surfaces or an unconventional shape.
