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.
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.
W.L.L. up to 13,000 lbs, with proof load up to 26,000 lbs and minimum ultimate load up to 46,000 lbs, suitable for heavy-duty load binding.
Long lever handle provides strong mechanical leverage for fast and efficient chain tightening, reducing operating effort.
Equipped with robust hooks and connecting chain for secure attachment and reliable load restraint during transportation.
Available in 1/4–5/16" to 1/2–5/8" sizes, suitable for trucks, trailers, agricultural equipment and other heavy-load transportation applications.
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.

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.
Choose from 2,600 lbs to 13,000 lbs working load limit based on your heaviest secured load, plus a safety margin.
Confirm the proof load (2× WLL) and minimum ultimate load meet your route or customer's tie-down standard.
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.
W.L.L. ranges from 2,600 to 13,000 lbs, with proof loads up to 26,000 lbs and minimum ultimate loads up to 46,000 lbs.
The lever mechanism provides powerful mechanical leverage for fast and effective chain tightening, helping secure heavy loads firmly.
Built for demanding load-securing applications, with a robust structure designed for strength and durability.
Compatible with chain sizes from 1/4" to 5/8", providing flexible options for different load-securing requirements.
Handle lengths range from 7.16 to 21.00 inches, providing increased leverage for easier manual tightening.
Net weight ranges from only 3.52 to 14.4 lbs, making the binder convenient to carry, install and operate while maintaining strong load-securing performance.
What is the MLB lever type load binder used for?
It is used to clamp, bind, anchor and tie down large loads on trucks, trailers and farm wagons.
