Load Securement - Chains, Chain Binders - Straps

Not sure what the 3/8 -1/2" binders are rated for?
I know my 1/2" are stamped 13,000lbs, so I GUESS the 3/8-1/2 are less?
if not, may look into getting some

I guess it depends where you get them. I am looking around am there are so many places that do not list where they are made. I see some that are 9200 and some that are 12K and 15K. The 15K binder is 160 bucks but is made in the USA. I guess I should start searching around for this stuff since I will be needing it soon.

 

3/8 - 1/2 is rated for 9200lbs
1/2 - 5/8 is rated for 13000lbs

 

Thanks! I never looked at the other ones. If I had 3/8, they were just 3/8. Those are 7400lbs IIRC. My 1/2" is 13,000 though.
Stick to what I have then me thinks!

Those ratchet binders with the fold down handles come in a 3/8-1/2 with a 13000 WLL.

For those of you who may not know. Some of you have probably looked at ratchet binders and noticed that there's not a lot of difference in the size, other than the size of the hooks. The thing you look for are the threads that screw in and out. The heavy duty binders will have big square shaped threads. The thicker the threads, the stronger the binder.

 

Thanks!
When the time comes, will get some of those as they will do both and I wont lose any WLL when using my 1/2" chain.

I saw those I just couldn't figure out where they are made. They do look nice though!

 

5/16" chains make great safety chains on the snowmobile trailer....
That's the only use I've found for them.
