A ratchet chain load binder is a tool used to tighten and secure chains around a load for transportation purposes. It is commonly used in applications such as trucking, flatbed trailers, and other cargo securing scenarios. The purpose of the load binder is to prevent the load from shifting or coming loose during transit.
Here's a general overview of how a ratchet chain load binder typically works:
- Components: A ratchet chain load binder typically consists of a handle, two tension hooks, and a ratcheting mechanism.
- Installation: The load binder is installed by attaching one end of the chain to the anchor point on the truck or trailer and the other end to the load. The load binder is then positioned over the chain.
- Tensioning: The ratcheting mechanism is operated by turning the handle, which pulls the two ends of the chain closer together, creating tension. This helps secure the load tightly.
- Locking: Once the desired tension is achieved, the ratcheting mechanism often has a locking feature to keep the binder in place and maintain the tension on the chain.
- Safety Measures: It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when using ratchet chain load binders. Over-tightening can be dangerous and may damage the load or equipment.
- Working Load Limit (WLL): Each load binder is rated for a specific Working Load Limit (WLL), which is the maximum load the binder is designed to handle safely. It's essential to use a load binder with an appropriate WLL for the intended load.
