Lever-type, or over-the-centre, binders utilize mechanical advantage to reduce the manpower required to secure a load. When using a lever-type load binder, tension can be applied and released quickly. Operators should use caution, as the handle may whip suddenly. When securement is complete, the lever stores in line with a load.
All components are forged, not cast
Forged binders are lighter and stronger than cast binders
Under equal force a forged handle will yield and bend while a cast handle may break
