Need chains or binders for equipment hauling?
Load Securement Gear Haulers Actually Use
If you haul equipment, your chains and binders are not “nice to have.” They are part of getting the load secured, getting on the road, and staying ready for the next job.
If you are buying for a truck, trailer, equipment yard, rental fleet, or crew, you need gear that is easy to order and practical for real hauling work. Advantage Rigging helps truckers, equipment haulers, and contractors stock the load securement supplies they reach for most.

Tie-down chains are used to help secure equipment, machinery, attachments, and heavy loads during transport. For haulers, contractors, and equipment crews, transport chain is one of those items that needs to be ready before the trailer is loaded.
Truckers and equipment haulers often use tie-down chains for:
- Skid steers
- Mini excavators
- Tractors
- Forklifts
- Lifts and aerial equipment
- Attachments and implements
- Machinery and heavy equipment
- Contractor and rental equipment
Before ordering transport chain, confirm the chain grade, chain size, working load limit, hook style, length, load weight, securement points, and applicable transport requirements.
Chain Binders for Tightening Tie-Down Chains
Chain binders are used to tension tie-down chains and help secure loads for transport. If the chain is what holds the load, the binder is what helps take up slack and lock the setup down.
Truckers, equipment haulers, contractors, farms, and rental yards often keep extra binders on hand because they tend to get used hard, moved between trailers, and borrowed by every person within a ten-foot radius.
Chain binders may be used for:
- Securing equipment on trailers
- Tightening transport chain
- Replacing worn or damaged binders
- Stocking trucks and job trailers
- Keeping extra securement gear available for multiple loads
Before buying a binder, confirm the binder type, chain size compatibility, working load limit, handle style, inspection condition, and transport requirements.
Hooks for Chain and Securement Setups
Hooks are a common part of chain assemblies and load securement setups. The right hook depends on the chain, connection point, load, and how the gear is being used.
Hooks may be needed for:
- Chain assemblies
- Replacement hardware
- Trailer and equipment securement setups
- Shop and yard use
- Heavy-duty connection points
If a hook is bent, cracked, stretched, damaged, heavily worn, or no longer fits the chain or application, remove it from service and replace it with the correct part.
Come Alongs and Hoists for Shop, Yard, and Trailer Support
Come alongs and hoists are not a replacement for proper transport chain and binders, but they can be useful for pulling, positioning, lifting, and controlled movement during shop, yard, or equipment handling work.
Advantage Rigging carries lever hoists, also called come alongs, and manual chain hoists, often called chain falls.
Lever Hoists / Come Alongs
- Pulling equipment into position
- Controlled movement in the shop or yard
- Supporting repair work
- Aligning parts or attachments
- General pulling and positioning tasks
Available capacities: 3/4, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 tons.
Available lift lengths: 5, 10, 15, or 20 feet.
Chain Hoists / Chain Falls
Chain hoists are used for vertical lifting in shops, yards, service areas, and maintenance settings.
Available capacities: 1/2, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 tons.
Available lift lengths: 10, 15, 20, or 30 feet.
Custom lift lengths are available on request. Call 480-502-2225 for details.
Shackles for Heavy-Duty Connection Needs
Shackles can be useful connection hardware in many shop, yard, and heavy-duty applications. For transport securement, always confirm the shackle is properly rated and allowed for the specific use before putting it into service.
- Shop and yard connection needs
- Rigging setups when properly rated
- Replacement connection hardware
- Equipment handling support
- Heavy-duty utility use
Check shackle size, type, pin style, markings, fit, and working load limit before buying or using. If the marking is missing or the part is questionable, it does not belong in service.
What to Check Before You Buy
If you are ordering tie-down chains and binders for trucks, trailers, or equipment hauling, start with what you haul most often.
- What equipment or machinery are you hauling?
- How heavy is the load?
- How many securement points are needed?
- What chain grade and size are required?
- What working load limit is needed?
- What chain length works for your trailer and load?
- Do you need hooks, binders, or replacement hardware?
- Is any current gear worn, bent, damaged, rusted, or missing markings?
- Does the setup meet applicable load securement requirements?
Not sure what to order? Call 480-502-2225. Advantage Rigging can help you narrow down the options.
Common Uses for Truckers and Equipment Haulers
Truckers and equipment haulers often buy chains, binders, and hardware for:
- Securing skid steers, mini excavators, and tractors
- Hauling lifts, forklifts, and machinery
- Transporting attachments, buckets, and implements
- Stocking flatbeds, trailers, and service trucks
- Replacing worn chains, binders, hooks, or hardware
- Keeping extra securement gear ready for different loads
- Shop, yard, and equipment handling support
The right chain and binder setup depends on the load, trailer, securement points, working load limit, and applicable requirements.
The load does not care that you are in a hurry. Gear up before the trailer is already loaded.
Load Securement and Inspection Reminder
Tie-down chains, binders, hooks, and related hardware should be inspected before use and removed from service if there are signs of damage, heavy wear, deformation, cracks, severe corrosion, missing markings, damaged threads, bent handles, or questionable condition.
Before securing a load, always confirm:
- Working load limit
- Chain grade and size
- Binder compatibility
- Hook and connection condition
- Securement point condition
- Load weight
- Number of tie-downs required
- Applicable load securement rules
- Manufacturer instructions
- Company safety procedures
