CHAIN BINDER INSTRUCTION AND SAFETY WARNING

Lever load binders, sometimes called lever binders, or load binders are known and may be used to bring together links of a chain to tighten the chain to bind a load. A lever load binder includes a binder body or, a yoke, with a first hook connected at one end. The binder body is pivotally connected to a lever or handle at a first pivot point. A second hook is connected to a linkage that is pivotally connected to the lever at a second pivot point. The second pivot point is adapted to move in an arc centered about the first pivot point as the lever is moved from an open or extended position to a binding position.

Apparatuses are disclosed where in a lever binder may include an adjuster that when manipulated adjusts the binding length of the lever binder. In various embodiments, a lever binder is disclosed including an automatic latching mechanism to help resist undesired movement of a lever from a binding position

Here we give you a few safety tips about using lever load binder:

●Never exceed the Working Load Limit.

●In releasing lever type binders, be sure no one is positioned to be struck by the handle which may release suddenly.
●If there is a possibility for a relaxation of the chain when the binder is in the locked or “over center” position, the handle should be secured to the binding chain by securely wrapping the loose end of the chain around the handle. Whenever possible, secure the handle down with a positive retaining method
