FAQs
What is the breaking load of this 16mm load binder?
The breaking load for this Ratchet Load Binder is 32,000KG.
What size chain is compatible with this load binder?
This load binder is designed specifically for use with 16mm chain.
How do I tension the chain using the load binder?
Simply pull the ratchet handle upwards repeatedly. Each pull removes slack from the chain and tightens the load.
What are the main applications for this product?
It is ideal for heavy load securing in transport and haulage, plant and machine moving, and agricultural applications.
What type of hooks are included?
The load binder is fitted with safety grab hooks on both ends for secure attachment.
Is the painted finish durable?
The binder is drop forged and painted red for protection. While durable, heavy use may cause cosmetic wear over time.
Can this load binder be used for lifting?
This product is designed for load *securing* (lashing) and not for lifting applications. Always use equipment specifically rated and designed for lifting.
Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism is stiff or won't engage.
Inspect the ratchet for debris or corrosion. Clean with a wire brush and apply a light lubricant. Ensure the chain is not excessively slack or too taut, which can hinder engagement.
Safety grab hook does not securely latch.
Check the hook and its mating link for damage or bending. Ensure the hook is fully seated and the safety catch is properly engaged. Do not use if damaged.
Chain appears to be loosening after tensioning.
Verify that the load binder is correctly sized for the chain and that the load itself is stable. Re-tension the binder and ensure the ratchet has fully engaged with each pull. Check for any damage to the binder or chain.
Visible rust or corrosion on the load binder.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush. Apply a protective coating suitable for metal, such as a red paint or rust inhibitor, to prevent further degradation. If rust is severe or affects critical components, consider replacement.
