Innovative load security feature allows the binder to be locked in the closed position
Can be locked with a pad lock, linchpin, or bolt
This feature offers key advantages
A locked binder cannot become unintentionally opened during transport
A locked binder cannot be removed from the chain, thereby protecting the load
COMPRESSION BINDERS
Compression binders are designed for securing bar and rod steel, lumber, poles, and machinery with rubber tires
Compression assembly capable of exerting a force of 5,000 pounds
Compression unit cushions shock and sway as loads are transported
Ball and socket joints offer 360 degree continuous swivel action on both hooks to allow straight line pull
Part number 48395 features a rubber compression unit
Part number 48758 features a spring compression unit
Dixie compression binders can be modified to meet Federal Spec GGG-B-325C Type II, Class 3.
EZ GRAB
Part #48325 is a military style binder.
This binder is designed to use the handle leverage to remove slack from the chain before hook-up, achieving correct tension on the first try (fabricated clevis).
This binder meets the requirements of Federal Spec GGG-B-325C Type II, Class 1.
Death / injury can occur from improper use or maintenance of tie-down equipment.
To avoid injury:
Inspect before use - remove from service if cracked, worn, or deformed.
Do not overload - load binders develop approximate working load with hand effort.
Do not use handle extender on load binder(s).
Do not use binder components for overhead lifting.
Load binding systems store energy which can release suddenly.
Operate only by hand from a firm standing position.
Operate handle cautiously.
Stay clear of handle path; handle may release suddenly.
Follow Operating Instructions.
Operating Instructions:
Follow DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations '392.9, '393.100, and '393.102. See Downloads section for copies of these regulations.
Inspect before use. Replace worn and deformed binders. Lubricate pivot and swivel points for optimum performance.
Do not operate with anyone on load.
Always apply binder in a straight line hook to hook manner without bending and such that handle goes down when securing load.
Tighten binders before moving and recheck frequently.
Do not exceed Working Load Limit shown on binder.
Do not use cheater bar or handle extension as such use can overload binder system and result in injury.
Secure handle down with a positive retaining method.
Release handle / load with extreme care. Make sure all personnel are clear. Lever binder handles can snap back over center. Use open palm under handle and push up.
