    I need help. I am in training for Roehl flatbed, working on my workbook problems.There is a chart problem asking WLL limits for different devices.
    I can't find the answers for the snap and ratchet binders in my cargo securement or FMCSA book.

    The WLL on snap & ratchet binders very from what kind you actually have. Their should be a stamp on the binders to give you this information.

    On my 5/16 snap binders the WLL is 5400 pounds. It is stamped on the handle of my binders.

    A 3/8 binder will have a different WLL

    1/4 = 2600

    5/16-3/8 = 5400 lbs

    3/8-1/2= 9200 lbs

    1/2-5/8 = 13,000

    That's what I found on google. Other than that, I'm clueless. DOH! Evidently binders will accept two chain sizes.

    Yes they do! The hook is large enough to go over the chain links.

    Thanks for all your quick replies.
    I am not on the road,just home doing my homework.I think the book they gave me isn't that good.I can't seem to find a table for the 2 types of binders, only for the chains,straps ect. And the FMC book does,t spec. it either. thanks again you guys are great.
