The handle has an open design with self-locking, one-way bolts so it's easy to remove debris, mud, ice, or snow and get back on the road quickly.

Proof tested to 50% of the minimum breaking strength

Why Choose A Ratchet Load Binder?

The primary difference between a ratchet binder and a lever binder is the tensioning method. A ratchet binder a ratcheting mechanism instead of leverage to add tension. This is by far the safer option - they store very little kinetic energy in the handle, reducing recoil and snapback-related injuries. They also allow for better control over the tension, as you can make more incremental adjustments, and don't require a handle lock.

Ratchet Binder Industry Compliance

All of our chain binders are FMCSA / DOT compliant and meet or exceed WSTDA T-6 Recommended Standards. This ensures quick identifications and stress-free inspections.
