Chain locks used to bind loads and lift heavy Loads



Now a day’s road accidents are common due to the load tied on the trucks which are being transported from one place to another. These transportation trucks have cargo winch installed on their backs which pull the heavy loads and then they transport from the source to the destination. These trucks are big and heavy because of the fact that they are used as conveyance for large loads. The fact that most of these cargo winch are without locks cause accidents while transportation causing damages to the vehicles on the road, damage to the load and thus claiming lives of those individuals.

 To avoid these types of accidents, Cargo winch manufacturer have come up with the more improved and technically safe versions of cargo winch which are now being replaced with the conventional cargo lifting mechanisms used earlier in the transportation trucks. These advanced cargo lifting mechanisms now comes with a type of lock that can be used to put a stop to the cargo winch rolling and thus the load is stopped at the position required. This modification is simple to use and operate and thus safe for the load and the people on the road.

There are different kinds of locks and tie down mechanisms available by the manufacturer to cater the different types of load.  To select the best type of tie down load mechanism, the first thing you need to consider is the load. What type of the load you will be lifting, how much is the weight and other parameters. The tie down mechanisms comes in different types of load categories and then you will be able to select the best one to be installed or replaced in your truck. The other thing to keep in mind is the angle load is to be placed to avoid the sliding of load from the truck. The best angle to select is the 45 degrees angle which is recommended and is safe.
There are two types of tie down locks available in the market and are commonly called as lever load lock and ratchet lock binder. These two are heavy lock cargo winch mechanisms and should be properly used as they are dangerous if not taken precautions. There are different parameters that should be kept in mind while selecting the best lock cargo winch and research should be done before buying one for your truck.
