Expert Answers about Chain Binders


  • What Does Safe Working Load Limit of Load Binder Mean
  • That's a good question, because working load limits (WLL) can be somewhat confusing, but I can explain it for you. The 9,200 lb WLL of the Titan Chain Ratcheting Load Binder for 3/8" - 1/2" Thick Chain # TCRB10 simply means that the binder itself is rated for weights up to 9,200 lbs, but that is separate from the chains. The number of chains you need is determined by their WLL. For example, if you had an 8,000 lb tractor,. you would need the aforementioned binder, as well as two of the...

  • Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder for Attaching to Durabilt 1/2" Transport Chain with Grab Hooks
  • The Durabilt Transport Chain with Grab Hooks # DU74MR has a hook opening of 5/8". The Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder # DU63MR uses the clevis ends with a 3/4" bolt so the chain will not attach to the bolt. Instead you should consider the Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder w/ Clevis and Grab Hook # DU93MR as it will fit on the 1/2" chain above.

  • Can The Ratcheting Chain Binder Be Used With Cables To Secure a Dock In Place?
  • Yes, you could use the Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder # DU26MR to tighten your dock cables. A better option would be the Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder w/ Compression Spring # DU52MR since you have the movement caused by waves on your dock. The spring will help to absorb some of the shock and extend the life of your cable as well as the binder.

  • Can Chain and Hooks be Routed through Stake Pocket Tie Down with D-Ring for Trailers
  • The 3/8 inch chain would not be a problem but the hook could be depending on its size. If you can't run the chain through backwards or there are hooks on both ends of the chains you have then the hook needs to be less than 1-3/8 inches high and 2 inches wide (at any angle that would allow it to slip through the opening on # T355) for this to work. We have some chains but none that are designed for this type of application. But we do have load binders if you need them. I have included a...

  • Will a 3/8" Grab Hook Safely Work With a 5/16" Chain?
  • Yes, the 3/8" Grab Hook # G7CG-38-YC will grab safely to a 5/16" chain. You see Binders like the Titan Chain Lever Type Load Binder # TCLB8 that have a 3/8" grab hook and safely work with 5/16" chains as well. The important thing is to remember to not exceed the lowest weight rating of either the chain or the Grab Hook when using components of different thickness or grade.

  • Can The Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder Be Used On a D-Ring To Haul Cargo
  • Yes, you could attach the Durabilt Ratchet Chain Binder w/ T-Handle and Chain for 5/16" to 3/8" Chains # DU42MR could be used to attach to cargo and through a d-ring to itself. Since the clevis doesn't come with a clip to prevent it from unlatching you would have to have constant tension on the chain to prevent it from just falling loose. You'd also need to know the capacity of the D-Ring so that you don't overload it and have it break off. You'd most likely be better off using a safety...
