Load Binders are intended for tiedown or lashing applications and are rated by Strength and Chain Size. Be sure your load binders are compatible with the chain being used. Load Binders are available in 3 styles:
1) Standard Lever Type Load Binders: Good for general tiedown and lashing applications. While this type of binder is faster to engage, it is losing popularity due to whipping action of handle when load is released.
2) Ratchet Style Load BInders: Good for general tiedown and lashing applications. While this binder takes longer to release and tension, it offers safer usage as tension is gradually released greatly reducing the whipping action of the handle.
3) Quik Binder Plus Load Binders: Great for tiedown and lashing applications. This is a patented product that offers a neutral position allowing the tension to be released or taken up faster that traditional ratchet binders. Extra features include a molded plastic sleeve to aid grip, folding handle to reduce storage space, and option to lock binder with pad lock.
4) Speedbinders: Great for tiedown and lashing applications. This is a patented product that offers quick positioning and tension with the assistance of a high powered battery drill. Take up and released is very fast compared to traditional ratchet binders.
