OK, It wouldn't be as much of an issue if you had straps plus your chains, but that changes things. You really should have 2 chains on each side of the unit. Looks like your chains are plenty long enough, so you could probably use 2 binders and 1 chain per side.
Reason is, if a chain fails, that side is now completely unsecured. Having two completely separate points on each side gives you time to fix it if one fails.
If anyone tells you it's fine cause the load so light, that person is an idiot and should never be listened to. If anyone tells you not to worry, cause chains rarely fail, that person is also an idiot and should never be listened to.
