Pro-source PSLL-5/16-3/8 Lever Load Binder 5400 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PSLL-5/16-3/8 is a Type A lever-style load binder rated to 5,400 pounds working load limit. It provides 4.25 inches of take-up to tension load chains and secure cargo on flatbed trailers, lowboys, and other freight transport equipment. The binder operates with a lever-action cam mechanism, allowing the operator to apply and release chain tension efficiently. This tool is standard equipment for truckers, riggers, and material handlers who work with chain tie-down systems on a daily basis. At 3 pounds, it is a manageable field tool that meets common DOT cargo securement requirements when used with appropriate chain grades.

The PSLL-5/16-3/8 is compatible with 5/16-inch Grade 70 transport chain and 3/8-inch Grade 43 high-test chain. It is used in over-the-road freight hauling, construction site material transport, and equipment staging applications where chain-based tie-down assemblies are required. The 4.25-inch take-up range accommodates typical slack in standard chain lengths, making it suitable for securing loads on flatbeds, step decks, and similar commercial transport configurations.

Installation Notes

Load binders are installed and operated by qualified freight handlers, riggers, or CDL drivers following DOT cargo securement regulations (49 CFR Part 393). Before tensioning, confirm the chain grade and hook size match the binder rating. Never stand directly over or in line with the lever during tensioning, as unexpected release can cause serious injury. Inspect the binder and associated chain for cracks, deformation, or wear before each use.
