Loadbinders are used for easy and efficient tightening of chain used for lashing purposes. The loadbinders are designed in such a way that they can effortlessly be operated using one hand.

One ratchet type is equipped with standard chain eye grab hooks, the other type has an improved version of these hooks to reduce chain wear substantially. This type of loadbinder is designed to meet requirements of standard EN 12195-3.

Each handle carries the following markings:

• chain diameter, for which the loadbinder is suitable;
• manufacturer’s symbol E.G. GT/YS
• not for lifting or hoisting applications;
• Lashing Capacity;
• minimum breaking load.
