What happens here
The presenter introduces 'twist-type' load binders, which are generally considered safer than lever-type binders because they don't have the same violent snap-back potential. To use these binders effectively, they should be loosened completely until the hooks are as far apart as possible. This provides maximum 'throw' or travel distance, allowing for more chain slack to be taken up and ensuring a tighter, more secure load when tightened. The binder is then attached to the chain and twisted to apply tension.
Goal: This step introduces twist-type load binders as a safer alternative to lever-type binders, explaining how to maximize their throw for effective tensioning.
