The Grade 100 Ratchet Load Binder with Clevis Attachments (RLCT Type) is an essential, high-strength tool used to securely tighten and lock chains around cargo for safe transportation on flatbeds and heavy-duty trailers.
*Complete with clevis grab hooks ready for use
| Type | Operation | Safety & Ease |
|---|---|---|
| Ratchet Binder (This Product) |
Geared / Screw | Safest Choice. No recoil. Allows infinite adjustment for precise tension. Easier to use, requires less force. |
| Lever Binder (Snap Binder) |
Lever Action | Risk of Injury. Handle stores kinetic energy and can "snap back" violently if not handled correctly. Harder to tighten. |

The relevant standard is BS EN 12195-3: 2001. This requires:
Note: Lashing Capacity (LC) is expressed in daN (decaNewton). 1 daN ≈ 1 kg.
Ensure the load binder (tensioner) is free to align and not bent over an edge. The chain must not be twisted. Hooks must engage correctly. Sharp Edges: If using over small radius edges without protection, the lashing capacity MUST be reduced according to manufacturer instructions.
Hydrogen Embrittlement: Never expose chains to acids. If contaminated, clean with clear water and dry naturally.
Rejection Criteria: Do not use if you find illegible markings, bent/elongated links, distorted hooks, or missing safety latches.
Storage: Store in a clean, dry area, hanging up if possible to prevent corrosion and contamination.
