CM Lever Load Binders are constructed of high quality drop forged steel. Lever-type, or over-the-center binders utilize mechanical advantage to reduce the manpower required to secure a load. When using a lever-type load binder, tension can be applied and released quickly. Operators should use caution, as the handle may whip suddenly. When securement is complete, the lever stores in line with load. Forged binders are lighter and stronger than cast binders. Under equal force a forged handle will yield and bend while a cast handle may break. CM load binders help you safely secure loads for transport as well as meet federal, state and commercial-vehicle safety alliance (CVSA) regulations.
