Buy Loadbinders from SafetyLiftinGear.com

mike products

Strong, high-quality loadbinders to keep your loads secure while in transit!

When you're transporting a large/heavy object, it's very important to ensure that your load is secure before setting off. Failing to secure your load will mean that it's at risk of falling off your vehicle, with potentially disastrous results - not only will the item in question be damaged by the fall, it may also cause a very serious accident involving other travellers and their vehicles.

We stock a variety of load restraint products here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, but our sturdy loadbinder sets are perhaps our most heavy-duty solution of all. A LiftinGear loadbinder kit consists of the following items:

1 x ratchet load binder (made of drop-forged steel, grab hooks attached)
1 x load binder grade chain (high-tensile steel)
2 x grab hooks or latch hooks (depending on which set you purchase)

These few items can be combined to create a load restraint system that's capable of holding even the heaviest items in place. Our most heavy-duty loadbinder kit is has a minimum breaking strength of 20,865kg (nearly 21 tonnes, or 46 thousand lbs), meaning that it can be used to keep even large vehicles and other super-heavy objects in place on the back of your truck.

If you don't need a full loadbinder kit, the constituent parts are available to buy separately from SafetyLiftinGear. Use the links below to find the item you wish to purchase:
