They are designed to provide secure and efficient tensioning of chain or strap assemblies for load restraint applications. Manufactured by Crosby, a well-known provider of rigging and lifting equipment, Speedbinders™ offer reliable performance and ease of use.
Here are some key features and characteristics of Crosby Speedbinders™:
Design: Speedbinders™ are typically designed as ratchet-style tensioners. They consist of a handle or lever mechanism, a ratcheting system, and hooks or end fittings for attachment to chains or straps. The design allows for easy and precise tensioning of the load restraint system.

Safety Features: Speedbinders™ are designed with safety features to prevent accidental release or loosening of the tension. They often include a locking mechanism or latch that securely holds the ratchet in place, minimizing the risk of the load shifting during transit.
Versatility: Crosby Speedbinders™ are versatile and can be used with various types of chains or straps, making them suitable for different load restraint applications. They are commonly used in the transportation industry to secure cargo on trucks, trailers, flatbeds, or other types of vehicles.
Identification and Traceability: Speedbinders™ are typically marked with the manufacturer's logo, product identification, load capacity, and other relevant information for easy identification and traceability. This information helps in maintaining safety records and ensuring compliance with load restraint regulations.
