Load Securement

Load securement, also known as tie-down or load binding, can be a complex rigging application that often has strict specifications and regulations. We offer a number of load securement products, including load binders, binder chain assemblies and tie-down hooks, that help you safely secure loads for transport as well as meet federal, state and Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) regulations.

Load Binders

Load Binders are typically used to take up slack and apply tension to a tie-down system. Designed primarily for use with graded chains, they can also be used with cable, steel strap or fiber webbing to secure loads in a variety of applications. Load binders are available in two general configurations: Lever-type (over the center) and Ratchet-type. CM load binders are rated by working load limit and are provided with the appropriate hooks to accept the chain size and grade consistent with the binder’s load rating.

Binder Chain Assemblies

Binder Chain Assemblies are most often used to secure loads to trucks, rail cars or truck trailers. They typically consist of a length of chain ranging from 6 to 26 feet in length with a grab hook at each end. The grab hook can be clevis style or eye style depending on your application. Standard binder chain assemblies are available in Grades 30, 43, 70, 80 and 100.
