American Power Pull 13050 Lever Load Binder 5400 Lb Wll

Product Description

The AMERICAN POWER PULL 13050 is a forged lever-style load binder rated for 5,400 pounds working load limit (WLL). It is designed to secure cargo on flatbed trailers, lowboys, and heavy haulers by tensioning grade-rated chain. The binder is constructed from high-quality forged steel, heat treated for strength, and electric welded for flexibility. Ball socket construction at the hooks allows articulation to reduce side-load stress on the chain connection. The 15.5-inch handle provides the mechanical leverage needed to achieve proper chain tension. A licensed over-the-road driver, rigger, or freight handler will typically install and operate this binder in compliance with DOT cargo securement regulations.

This binder is compatible with 5/16-inch Grade 70 transport chain and 3/8-inch Grade 40 chain. It is used in over-the-road freight securement, construction equipment hauling, and heavy material transport applications where DOT-compliant tie-down assemblies are required. The 4-inch take-up range accommodates normal slack variation in chain assemblies, making it practical for quick setup and adjustment during loading operations.

Key Features

• 5,400 lb working load limit with 10,800 lb proof test load and 19,000 lb minimum breaking strength
• Forged steel construction, heat treated for durability under repeated load cycles
• Electric welded design provides flexibility at the hook and handle joints
• Ball socket construction reduces stress concentration at chain attachment points
• 15.5-inch handle length delivers mechanical leverage for fast tensioning
• 4-inch take-up range accommodates typical chain slack in tie-down assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/16-inch Grade 70 transport chain or 3/8-inch Grade 40 chain in DOT-regulated cargo securement applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified freight handlers, riggers, or flatbed operators following DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) cargo securement standards (49 CFR Part 393). Inspect the binder, hooks, and chain for cracks, deformation, or wear before each use. Never use a cheater bar or pipe extension on the handle to exceed rated leverage. Ensure the latch or safety latch is fully engaged before moving the vehicle.
