Product Information

Full details

This SecureFix Direct Ratchet Chain Loadbinder Kit is designed for professionals and individuals transporting heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped loads that might not be suitable for standard webbing straps. Its primary benefit is providing robust, secure load containment with a high Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS) of 46000LBS, ensuring cargo safety during transit. A potential caveat to consider is its weight (7.6kg) and the specific requirements for its secure attachment and tensioning.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS) of this loadbinder?

The Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS) for this 13mm loadbinder kit is 46000LBS.

What is the maximum load capacity?

While the MBS is 46000LBS, the Working Load Limit (WLL) is typically a fraction of this for safety. Always refer to the product's specific WLL if provided, and ensure it is appropriate for your load. A common guideline is 1/4 to 1/5 of MBS, but professional assessment is recommended for critical applications.

Can this be used with webbing straps?

This loadbinder is designed for use with chain. It is not intended to be used with webbing straps.

How do I adjust the length of the chain?

The length is adjusted by operating the ratchet mechanism. The chain can be lengthened or shortened by engaging and disengaging the ratchet to feed or retract the chain.

What is the difference between this and a webbing ratchet strap?

This loadbinder uses a heavy-duty chain and a lever-action ratchet for significant tensioning force, suitable for very heavy loads and applications where sharp edges might damage webbing. Webbing straps are lighter and more flexible but have lower strength ratings and are susceptible to abrasion.

Is the hook secure during transport?

Yes, the attached eye sling hook features a safety catch designed to ensure it remains securely connected to the anchor point, providing added peace of mind during transit.

What is the weight of the loadbinder kit?

The total weight of this loadbinder kit is approximately 7.6kg.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any debris from the mechanism. Apply a light lubricant to the moving parts and work the ratchet back and forth.

Hook safety catch is not closing properly.

Inspect the hook and catch for damage or obstructions. Ensure the chain is not twisted, which can prevent proper closure. If damaged, discontinue use.

Visible rust or corrosion on the chain or binder.

Minor surface rust can be cleaned with a wire brush and a rust inhibitor. Heavy corrosion may compromise the loadbinder's strength; inspect carefully and consider replacement if structural integrity is suspected.

Loadbinder does not hold tension.

Check for debris or damage in the ratchet teeth. Ensure the chain is properly engaged. If the mechanism is worn, the loadbinder may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength for securing heavy and awkward loads.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reliability.
  • Safety catch on the hook enhances load security.
  • Corrosion-resistant finish for use in various conditions.
  • Provides a more robust alternative to webbing straps for specific applications.

Cons

  • Significant weight (7.6kg) can make handling difficult for some users.
  • Requires proper anchoring points and understanding of load-securing principles.
  • May be overkill for lighter or less demanding loads.
  • Manual tensioning requires physical effort.
  • Limited adjustability range compared to some other systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify secure, rated anchor points on both the load and the transport vehicle.
  2. Attach the 13mm Eye Sling Hook to the load's anchor point, ensuring the safety catch is engaged.
  3. Connect the chain to the transport vehicle's anchor point. Ensure the chain is not twisted and has adequate length.
  4. Operate the ratchet mechanism to tension the chain until the load is firmly secured. Avoid over-tensioning, which could damage the load or anchor points.

Compatibility:

This loadbinder is designed to work with standard rated towing or lashing points. Ensure that any anchor points used have a Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS) equal to or exceeding that of the loadbinder (46000LBS). It is most compatible with heavy machinery, vehicles, steel plates, and other bulky items where extreme security is paramount.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the chain, hook, and ratchet mechanism for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
  • Clean the loadbinder with a damp cloth after use, especially if exposed to dirt or salt.
  • Store in a dry location when not in use to prevent rust.
  • Lubricate the ratchet mechanism periodically to ensure smooth operation.
