About this item

• Professional grade equipment - Professional truck operators choose Vulcan cargo control products to haul millions of loads every year. Vulcan is recognized as the most qualified, most experienced, tie-down manufacturer in the world. Work with confidence, knowing that this 3/8" ratchet style binder is backed by the 50 years of manufacturing expertise that only Vulcan can provide.
• Folding handle for enhanced safety and usability - The ratchet-style handle, crafted through forging, conveniently collapses to reduce the risk of snagging on protruding handles during operation. When fully extended, the handle allows for increased leverage, ensuring you achieve the right tension on your chain tie-down consistently. The durable forged steel pawl and gear mechanism is user-friendly and mitigates the risk of "snap backs" and other hazards that may arise while loading and unloading.
• American, family-owned business, based in Detroit, Michigan since 1959 – Vulcan is proud to be based in Detroit, MI USA. We have always been family owned and operated and are now in our fourth generation of trucking and towing supply experts. Make sure you know who you are buying from. Choose the US based company that designed the products originally.
• Properly rated with your safety in mind - This binder has a 12,000 lbs. Safe Working Load and is intended for use with up to 3/8-inch Grade100 chain. The rating is based on a 4:1 safety factor. 4:1 is the correct safety factor, recommended by the NACM, and our binders are always rated properly and meet or exceed all CVSA and DOT specifications. BEWARE: some other binders on the market that are only rated at a 3:1 safety factor, which is not safe and can be very misleading to the user.
• Vinyl 3-position gear lever and vinyl coated body – The three-position gear allows you to switch modes from extension, tightening, and free spin with just a quick turn of the lever. Free spin mode is intended for fast adjustment in either direction and the vinyl coated body provides a solid grip so you can quickly take up as much slack as possible before switching the gear to the final tightening mode.
• Industrial strength construction - The heavy-duty forged handle, barrel, take-up screws, links and hooks are intended to stand up to rigorous field use and harsh weather conditions. Baked on powder coating and zinc-dichromate plating provide maximum durability and reliability. The forged grab hooks swivel 360 degrees and engage easily with 3/8-inch and 5/16-inch chain.
