What Are Transport Chains?
Transport binder chains, also known asย logging chains, are heavy-duty chains designed for securing cargo during transport. These chains are typically made fromย high-carbon steelย and are heat-treated for added strength. They are commonly used in industries likeย trucking,ย construction, andย agricultureย for tasks such as:
- Securing loads onย flatbed trailers.
- Towing vehicles or equipment.
- Hauling heavy materials likeย logs,ย steel beams, orย machinery.
Grade 70 transport chainsย are the most popular choice for tie-down applications due to theirย strength,ย durability, and compliance withย D.O.T.ย andย CVSA specifications.
What Is a Chain Binder?
Chain binders, also known asย load binders, are devices used to adjust the tension of your transport chain. They ensure your cargo is held securely in place during transit. Chain binders feature aย tension hookย on each end that attaches to the chain and aย handleย orย mechanismย to add tension.
Types of Load Binders
Load binders are essential for tightening and securing chains around your cargo. Atย Mega Cargo Control, we offer two main types of binders:ย ratchet bindersย andย lever binders.
Ratchet Load Binders
A Ratchet binder uses a ratcheting mechanism to apply tension to the chain. Itโs a safer and more controlled option, as it reduces the risk of tension build-up on the handle.
- 1. How to Use: Simply attach the binder to the chain and use the ratcheting mechanism to tighten it.
- 2. Benefits: Requires minimal effort and is ideal forย heavy-duty applications.
- 3. Applications: Perfect forย flatbed trailers,ย construction sites, andย agricultural use.
Lever Load Binders
Aย lever binderย usesย leverageย to tighten chains quickly. While itโs faster and more portable than a ratchet binder, it requires caution due to potentialย snap-back.
- 1. How to Use: Attach the binder to the chain and use the lever to tighten it at aย 180-degree angle.
- 2. Benefits: Quick and efficient forย loadingย andย unloading.
- 3. Caution: Be mindful of potentialย snap-back, which can be dangerous if not handled properly.

FAQs
A1: Yes,ย grab hooksย andย clevis slip hooksย can be easily replaced if they become damaged or worn. This extends the life of your transport chain and ensures continued safety.
A2: Aย ratchet binderย uses a ratcheting mechanism for safer and more controlled tensioning, while aย lever binderย uses leverage for quicker tightening but requires caution due to potential snap-back.
A3: Yes, all ourย Grade 70 chainsย and accessories meetย D.O.T.ย andย CVSA specifications, ensuring compliance for commercial use.
