13,000 lb Columbus McKinnon Ratcheting Chain Binder

Columbus McKinnon is a trusted name in the trucking and transportation industry. Their USA-made ratchet binders are a reliable choice for securing heavy equipment and other demanding loads with transport chain, helping ensure cargo gets from point A to point B safely.

Domestic Ratchet Binder Construction

Built from forged steel for superior strength, this binder is finished with a durable orange powder coat for long-lasting protection against the elements. The gears are permanently welded to the barrel, ensuring consistent performance and durability.

The open-handle design with self-locking, one-way bolts makes it easy to clear away mud, ice, or snow, so you can keep moving without downtime. Each binder is proof tested to 50% of its minimum breaking strength.

Why Choose a Ratchet Load Binder?

Unlike lever binders, ratchet binders use a ratcheting mechanism to add tension, making them a safer choice. They store minimal kinetic energy in the handle, reducing the risk of recoil or snapback injuries. Ratchet binders also allow incremental tension adjustments for better control and don’t require a handle lock.

Ratchet Binder Industry Compliance

All Columbus McKinnon ratchet binders are FMCSA / DOT compliant and meet or exceed WSTDA T-6 Recommended Standards, ensuring fast identification and hassle-free inspections.

⚠️Warning: Binders

Do not exceed the binder's working load limit.

Hand-tighten only; do not use a cheater bar.

Handle should be tightened at a downward angle.

Do not tighten or release the binder while you or anyone else is standing on the load.

Wrap the loose end of the chain around the handle and tightened chain for safety.

Do not close your hand around the binder.

Inspect binder prior to use for signs of wear. Do not use if damaged.

To ensure the load remains secure, check binders frequently.
