American Power Pull 13070 Ratchet Load Binder 3/8 in

Product Description

The AMERICAN POWER PULL 13070 is a 3/8-inch ratchet load binder built for securing cargo chains in heavy-duty transport and rigging applications. It features a turnbuckle-style ratchet mechanism with spring-loaded pawls that lock the chain under tension and release cleanly when slack is needed. The body is cast steel with forged steel components throughout, giving it a working load limit of 5400 pounds and a minimum breaking strength of 19,000 pounds. The handle measures 14 inches in length with a take-up range of 9-5/16 inches. This binder is sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

This ratchet load binder is used in freight hauling, flatbed trucking, logging, and construction transport where chain tie-down systems are required. The electric-welded chain link compatibility allows for flexible engagement across standard 3/8-inch chain grades. It is commonly installed by transportation professionals, riggers, and heavy equipment operators who need a reliable mechanical advantage device for load securement in compliance with DOT cargo securement regulations.

Installation Notes

Ratchet load binders are installed by qualified operators following DOT cargo securement standards. Inspect the binder and chain for wear, cracks, or deformation before each use. Never exceed the working load limit and ensure the pawl is fully engaged before the load moves. Store the handle in a safe position after tensioning to prevent accidental release or injury during transit.
