This guide is for professionals in transport, haulage, plant moving, and agriculture who need a reliable and easy-to-use system for securing heavy loads with chains. The SecureFix Direct 8MM Lever Ratchet Chain Loadbinder offers a secure and efficient way to tighten chain lashings, significantly reducing setup time and enhancing safety. A key consideration is ensuring the loadbinder is correctly sized for the chain being used to maintain its rated capacity.

This loadbinder is specifically designed for 8MM chains. Using it with larger or smaller chains will compromise its effectiveness and safety.
Lashing Capacity (LC) is the safe working load the binder can handle. Breaking Load (BL) is the load at which the binder is expected to fail. The LC is typically half of the BL for load binders.
It is recommended to inspect the loadbinder before each use, and perform a more thorough inspection regularly, especially after heavy use or exposure to harsh conditions.
No, this loadbinder is precisely engineered for 8MM chains. Using it with other sizes can lead to unsafe operation and potential failure.
This loadbinder is suitable for use with 8MM Grade 70 or Grade 80 transport chains.
The length is adjusted by the ratcheting action. Pulling the handle upwards removes slack and increases tension, effectively shortening the overall span. The binder extends from 340MM to 502MM in its operational length.
Common industries include transport and haulage, plant and machine moving, and various agricultural applications where securing heavy loads with chains is necessary.
Inspect the mechanism for dirt or debris. Clean with a brush and re-test. Avoid excessive lubrication which can attract grit.
Ensure the chain is correctly seated in the hooks and the ratchet is engaging properly. Check that the loadbinder is the correct size for the chain (8MM).
Verify that the anchor points are compatible with the 10.5MM hook opening. Ensure the anchor point is strong enough to bear the load tension.
Immediately remove the loadbinder from service and replace it. Do not attempt to repair damaged loadbinders.
Setup: To set up, attach both hooks of the ratchet loadbinder to the 8MM chain and secure anchor points on the load and vehicle/trailer. Ensure the chain is properly seated within the hooks. Pull the ratchet handle upwards repeatedly to remove slack from the chain. Continue ratcheting until the desired tension is achieved. Ensure the loadbinder is oriented correctly for optimal leverage and safety.
Compatibility: This loadbinder is specifically designed for 8MM Grade 70 or Grade 80 transport chain. It is not compatible with chains of different sizes or grades. Ensure anchor points are strong enough to withstand the applied tension.
Care: Inspect the loadbinder regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, particularly on the ratchet mechanism, hooks, and the body of the binder. Clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly after use, especially in wet conditions. Store in a dry environment when not in use. Avoid using lubricants on the ratchet mechanism unless specified by the manufacturer, as this can attract dirt and debris.
