MLB LEVER TYPE LOAD BINDER

A heavy-duty MLB lever type load binder with carbon steel construction and high-leverage lever handle — built for truckers, farmers and cargo transportation that need secure clamping, binding, anchoring and tie-down of large loads.

ModelMLB
W.L.L2600-13000 lbs

Net Weight3.52-14.4 kg
Handle length7.16-21 inch

Product Overview

The MLB lever type load binder pairs a forged steel body with a long lever handle and double grab hooks, giving the unit single-stroke mechanical tensioning of chains for clamping, binding, anchoring and tie-down. Available in working load limits from 2,600 lbs to 13,000 lbs for chain sizes 1/4" through 5/8", it's built for truckers, farmers and flatbed haulers where a load needs to be cinched down once and held for the haul — not re-tensioned every few miles.

It shares its double-hook load-binder body with the MRLB ratchet type, but uses a straight lever instead of a ratchet — see the comparison below to confirm which style fits your chain and your working style.

Why Choose a Lever-Type Load Binder?

Not every tie-down job needs a ratchet binder, a winch or a powered tensioner. Where a load has to be cinched down once and held for the whole haul — a flatbed, a grain trailer, a farm wagon — a lever binder does the job with simple mechanical leverage and fewer moving parts. The MLB is built for exactly that: dependable, single-action tie-down.


Which MLB size fits your job? If you're securing light loads on 1/4"–5/16" chain, the MLB-0104 covers a 2,600 lbs WLL. If you're hauling equipment on 3/8"–1/2" chain, the MLB-0308 steps up to a 9,200 lbs WLL. If you run the heaviest flatbed loads on 1/2"–5/8" chain, the MLB-0102 tops out at a 13,000 lbs WLL — the simpler, lower-cost choice over a ratchet binder when you tension once and drive. Compare: MLB LEVER TYPE LOAD BINDER Compare: MRLB RATCHET TYPE LOAD BINDER

How to Select the Right MLB Model

01

Match the chain size first

Pick the binder by your chain diameter — 1/4"–5/16", 5/16"–3/8", 3/8"–1/2" or 1/2"–5/8" — the grab hooks must fit the chain before anything else.

02

Match WLL to your heaviest load

Choose from 2,600 lbs to 13,000 lbs working load limit based on your heaviest secured load, plus a safety margin.

03

Check proof and ultimate load ratings

Confirm the proof load (2× WLL) and minimum ultimate load meet your route or customer's tie-down standard.

04

Verify handle length for your working reach

Match the lever length — from 7.16" on the MLB-0104 up to 21.00" on the MLB-0102 — to the leverage and swing room you expect on the load.
