I'll take a hard pass on snap binders! Ratchet binders all the way!

When you gave half a link and closed the binder by hand, that was the correct chain tension. When you took half a link and proudly reefed the binder closed you over tighten the binder effectively rendering your tie down useless. Understanding working load limit and how that works in conjunction with mechanical tie downs devices you will realize overnighting chain is not only dangerous but lessen the effectiveness of you tie down.

'Over tightening lessens the effectiveness' Can you elaborate on this please?

I would suggest getting rid of thoses bars and getting the ones designed with snap binder attachment instead of using the pipe end of the bar. Much safer using those bars vs pipes or pipe bars.

Also, if your binder is "cramped into the deck" (it WILL happen) then put the narrow end of the load bar, stick it in the big oval on the binder and use it to turn the binder the way you want it... duuuuh

Round bar on these trailers have a rating of approximately 3000 lbs. Not advisable to snap or ratchet a 5500 lb binder around one piece of bar. Tear drip around two and remember the working load limit now is the lowest WLL of the chain/ratchet system. Typically that would be the WLL of the company binders or 5500 pounds or what is stamped on the ratchet.

Are you a flatbed driver because you have no idea what you're talking about. Grade 70 chain, and a 3/8 binder BOTH are rated at 6600 WLL. Reitnoier, Benson, East, Transcraft all rate their rub rail spools at 5500WLL. 3000WLL on a spool... 😂 you're insane. If you only use one spool to wrap the chain, DOT rates your securement value at the lowest rated piece of the puzzle, which would be the single spool at 5500WLL even when using a binder and chain rated at 6600WLL. I spent 3 years working in the FMCSA in the field of load securement and securement devices.

I usually keep mine lubed simply to keep life a little more simple. No need to add to the already growing stresses in life. I've occasionally had a binder lever rotate down and have to work extra just to undo it, never thought about the chain causing it. Thanks for sharing

Get some ratchet binders, makes it a lot more efficient

@brucewales5965 Год назад

Thanks for trying to zoom in ON what you are actually talking about. And staying on it long enough to take in all the details. Too many helpful folk film themselves more than what they are illustrating.

Ratchet binders I find are better

@Heinrich99 Год назад

I hate snap binders I picked up a relay load at one of our yards, air conditioning units. Someone put chains with snap binders secure cross the trailer on the deck flat. When I went to remove the binders I had to decide whether I wanted the breaker bar it to come off away from me or at me, I chose to loosen the binder away from me. The breaker bar slipped out of my fingers and nearly hit me in the jaw by an inch.

Do chains rust and loose integrity can links snap? I mostly use straps I spray oil w40 on my chains but time weather they rust.. Are they still safe if rust?
