Load binders built to apply and maintain tension on transport chains. Available in both lever and ratchet styles.

Heavy-Duty Load Binders for Flatbed Trailers

A secure flatbed load depends on tension, and a load binder is the tool that delivers it. Whether you call them chain binders, cargo binders, or trailer binders, these products are used to tighten chain over your freight and help keep it secure during the trip.

Ratchet binders apply and release tension gradually, which gives you more control and makes fine adjustments easier. Lever binders, often called snap binders, trade that control for speed, closing tight in a single motion. That's why many drivers on routine hauls still reach for them first. Keep in mind that a lever binder stores a lot of energy, so keep your body clear of the handle's swing when releasing it.

Whether you choose a ratchet binder or a lever binder, our heavy-duty chain binders for trucks and flatbed trailers are built for demanding daily use. Sizes here cover 5/16"–3/8" and 3/8"–1/2" chain, and working load limits range from 5,400 to 9,200 lbs depending on the model. When pairing G70 transport chains and binders, check the chain size range and the WLL of both products, so the binder isn't the weak link in your tie-down. Browse our flatbed binders and chains to build a compatible set.

A quick inspection before a haul can catch problems before the binder goes to work. Replace it if you see a bent handle, a cracked or deformed hook, or a hook that won't seat flush.
