Can’t wait to see the video on that new diamond c trailer

Good video. At 70 years young I'm stuck with a pipe and snap binders. If you are hauling rubber tired equipment they work ok. Use to be required to have all binders on drivers side. I like your new trailer and binders. Thanks for sharing!!!

I ran speed binders when I was hauling rental equipment for a living and they were awesome. The only reason I have ratchet binders on my personal trailer at home is because they were gonna throw the ones my speed binders replaced away and I'm too cheap to buy speed binders for a trailer I don't use too much.

The first white one is made for Air Force aluminum cargo pallets. With the hook integral to the ratchet it makes them difficult to use in most cases. You can even see the way you use em they don't fully close and latch.

Good comparison. Definitely agree with the slack adjuster based binders being the best. One thing though, OIL the threads and moving parts on the steel binders from time to time. You can get a lot more torque on an oiled thread.

I agree with the binder assessment. One point is the speed binders, If you don't use the binders for 2 years, they will freeze up. I'm going to EZ Binders less work than all the rest.

Love the videos Sam your my new favorite KZfaqr!

If you use the snap binders a lot, you know the tricks on how to use them. My favorite use is for securing a small stack of dunnage on the deck. But for now my snap binder days are over... A very bumpy Mississippi road bounced my toolbox door open and now someone else is using all the binders, chains and coil racks I had inside. As for the tail of the chain, I use a bungee to secure them. Running flatbed means having to tarp so you carry 50 bungees at a minimum.

Seen those speed binders on your channel when you first did a video on them, went out bought 8 of them to replace what I had an absolutely love them! They have made my life so much easier and faster chaining down equipment! One thing to maybe check out would be some ratchet straps from USA Ratchet. I bought some of those and they are great! With those there is no tails to worry about comes on a reel hard to explain the setup but they are also super nice and give a nice clean look with like I said no tails to worry about doing up after tightening.

Good episode and info 👌 I use the reg binders and a bar my self.

Each has its purpose. Thanks for the video Sam take care of yourself and family and be Blessed ❤️❤️👍✅.

You almost forgot how to do math yourself there 😂

Without watching first, I like the clamp style binder. I’ve always used a pipe to close it and wrap extra chain around it. The screw type is fine, keep some lube handy and it works more easily.

Good demo Sam 👍👍

Otr truck driver for 4 years now always keep tools and drill and other power tools on my truck to fix any little things I can fix myself

That was a cool intro! Those speed binders are the way to go but for now I’ve been rolling with the conventional manual ratcheting ones. They work well but after a full day of loading and unloading machinery, they kinda wear you out.

we still like the original speed binders Dirt Perfect has, however they got bought out and are under a new company and manufacturer, not as impressed. we will keep using the originals but most likely wont go with any new ones. Mainly customer service issues and we have heard some quality control issues from people that have purchased them since the company was sold. that mecalac is a cool machine man. stay safe.

We’ve been changing over to the yellow binders with the folding handles

I hauled and installed fencing for 15 years, primarily vinyl and chainlink. Dealung with material especially in bundles. How many times have you seen a bunk of lumber that is missing boards in the center( i have probably 15x personaly)? Vinyl will crimp,but will loosen. Chainlink tubing on a steel deck trailer is slicker then owl snot. When material is on dunnage it gives you the option of 1 wrap at the front or rear,if a multiple wrap front of front...and rear of rear. For basic strapping ,DOT have pulled me over for 2 straps on 12 ft material..he wanted straps every 4ft...so have enough to satisfy them + 2-3 extra. For straps.... stand on passenger side and hook dummy end +3 ft more than you need, then throw the ratchet across to drivers side. The weight of the ratchet keeps tension till you get all thrown,if a strap comes loose you don't want to jump over a bumper pull /under a gooseneck to re-tighten from passenger side. After throwing all straps,walk back and tighten. For a specific equipment you should have it figured to a science. I had 2 hydraulically driven "easy augers" and used 7 trailers. Both machines had snap binders attached to both machines,and all 7 trailers had 3 links of chain for the binder at the exact point it was used at. Ramps in front,wheelbarrow encapsulating a 14/8 inch auger tied down with extra tail of front strap. For hauling a tractor stopped 3 inches from where it needed to be,hooked 2 chains at rear and drove the last 3 to tighten. Then ratchet binders going to the front. If you do the same thing every day and it takes extra time,you are not an operator...just a flunky.

Nice content 👍😎✊

I’ve had skid steers and 303’s slide over on the deck as I was tightening down the 1st 2 ratcheting binders. 😂😂 gotta watch how tight you pull on the 1st couple.

What brand of speed binders are those? Love the video new sub!

The real issue with anything outside the rub rail is that a side swipe accident can remove one or all tie downs on that side of the truck bed/trailer in an instant. And, there's no legal exemption for over width.

You're right Sam, Securement is allowed to be outside the 102" however dunnage is not.

I watched a transport driver trying to chain my Telehandler down let the cheater bar slip out of his hand at full tension and it flew about 30 feet high over the trailer across the road.

If the dot didn’t think there was something wrong with them they would t let you use them😊

I'm a ratchet binder guy. The yellow ones with the folding handle. I'm interested in the 40k. You had me at deck on the neck with that bad sumbitch

I run the regular ratchet binders. Nothing against the speed binders. Just don’t feel the need to upgrade unless I was loading/unloading machines all day. Plus my machine is small so I only use 2 binders total anyway.

Get you some hydraulic hose cover and put it on a ratchet strap to help protect them when your strapping booms down.

True story i used to haul heavy equipment and used snap binders until one day i didn't notice one tail was bent fastened it went to wrap the spare chain round the tail it sflew open broke my cheek bone went in office and threw snap link at manager got six brand new rachet binders

I agree with you

I personally use the ratcheting binders But I don’t chain every day, if I chained everyday I’d be buying the speeders I don’t use the straps with chains, think if it was to be used with something u don’t wanna scratch paint and there’s not hook spots

Yep. I like it. Ratchet all the way. Speed or manual. Oh yeah and shorter chains! I secure my machine pretty much the same way.

Good Viddya

Hi I am a new subscriber I have a 96 dodge ram dually whit a auto transmissions 47 re same is the Cummins I looking to swap to manual my cuestiom is do I need to replace the computer thanks I been watching your videos for long time thanks again

What's the funky song at the start? Nice choice.

When are we going to see video on your awesome 40k trailer ?

I’ve been strapping to rub rail for years. My mirrors are 109” wide. Hmmm

11 years pulling a skateboard only like using snap binders for x chains to prevent forward movement

Those "snap over" types are outlawed, banned down here.

I run ancra ez binders and they blow all these away if your weight requirements can be met with them

Sam yes it was captain kleeman who turned your channel on to speed binder's

Can you ratchet the speed binders if your battery dies, etc.

That 40k diamond 💎 looks bad a?? .

If you get a chain under a tire you will stop quickly don’t ask me how I know

Just admit it you like the speed binder’s. Because you’re getting older and lazier. 😂😂😂

As far as anything over 102 securement doesn't count as long as it's not part of the load you can have it overhang and as far as straps and everything being on the inside of the rubber that's just like if you side swipe something less chances of it you know breaking your securement and losing the load
