When you need to secure equipment fast, sorting through mismatched gear slows everything down. This kit pairs two ratchet binders with two 10' chains rated at 11,300 lbs each, giving you two complete, properly matched tie-downs.
You get two Quick Binders rated at 12,000 lbs and two 10' x 1/2" chains rated at 11,300 lbs. All pieces are sized to work together to create two matched tie downs for securing farm tractors, backhoes, and similar machines. If you need longer chain runs, 16' and 20' chains (e33GV and e53GV - sold separately) are available.
The Quick Binder's lever lets you quickly move between three modes as you're setting up or undoing your chains.
Note: Do not use Free-Spin to release a chain that's under load.

I'm Matt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be talking about the etrailer Quick Ratchet Chain Binder kits. Now, you can get this in a couple different variations, but these are gonna be the ones that are gonna have the weight capacity of 11,300 pounds and they're gonna be compatible with link sizes 3/8 to 1/2 inch sizes. So, let's take a closer look at 'em. So, some of those kits we're gonna be talking about are gonna be the kit that's gonna come with one binder, one chain of a length of 10 feet, 16 feet, and 20 feet. And then, we're gonna have other ones that are gonna come with two binders and two chains of the same length.
And that's what's really nice about these is you can really mix and match them up to fit your needs, but they're all going to have the same specs. Now, I do like these kits for a couple reasons. One of the biggest things is that it is gonna come with a ratcheting style binder. What's nice about a ratcheting style binder is I find 'em just easier to handle and work with, and they're also safer 'cause the other option is gonna be a lever style. The benefit of a lever style in most cases is it's just faster to tighten down, but sometimes it doesn't even help you save that much time because if you don't get it on the right link initially, it's gonna take you a few attempts, as in just ratcheting might just save you more time and be less of a hassle too.
The other thing I really like about this is you're gonna have all the pieces you need because chances are if you're replacing and need a new chain binder, you're also gonna need some new chains too. So, I did wanna talk a little bit more to that weight capacity. So, the weight capacity, again, is gonna be 11,300 pounds and that's actually what the chain is rated at. The binder is gonna be rated at 12,000 pounds. But like always, when we are carrying any type of loader really dealing with weight capacities, we always wanna go with the weakest link.
So, go from your lowest-rated component so you don't damage anything. And these links and hooks, that should work very well with one another 'cause this is gonna be a 1/2-inch clevis hook here and these are gonna be 1/2-inch links. So, I find these fit very snugly, very easy inside of these hooks so you really don't have to deal with them kind of sliding around on you when you trying to get set up. All right, so I do wanna show how they're gonna work together. So, it's gonna be the same for the kit of one or the kit of two.
You can tell we have that largest L hook. It is gonna have the actual symbol saying what size this is and what it's gonna work with, so that is nice, and it does go fairly well onto these other links. Same thing for these other L hooks. I'll just grab right into place. This doesn't take really any time to really set up. The longest part for me is always just getting the hooks at the best spot possible and I already have my ratchet kind of loosened up some. Now, when it comes to the pawl, you'll have three settings. So, I'll have the out but loosened up some more. We're gonna have free spin, that will just move around so you can adjust it to your liking. And then we're gonna have the in that will actually tighten this down. (ratchet ratcheting) Just like that, doesn't really take too long. You can kind of tap and make sure it's feeling pretty good. Part of that is due to us having this kind of rubber section here to grab on, so it doesn't really slip around on you. And then, we can put the handle down. And if you don't like the orientation of that handle, that's where that free spin really comes in handy. Put that downwards, lock it into place, and there we have it. Now, overall I do think this is gonna be a solid kit no matter which one you go with. Just make sure you're getting the appropriate chain lengths for your equipment and the appropriate amount for the type of load you're handling and what your state regulations are. Now, if you need a different type of binder for a type of specialty type of equipment you might own, then I'd recommend checking out some Durabilt ones 'cause they are gonna have some more odd connection points for more specific items. But for most people, if you have stuff like I have today, this will be plenty fine for you. Now, if you guys have any questions about our kits, let us know here at etrailer. And again, I'm Matt and thanks for watching.
