Doleco USA introduces DoRa Gen 2 Ratcheting Load Binder, featuring significant engineering improvements that deliver 33% faster tensioning and de-tensioning, as well as enhanced, patent-pending safety mechanisms.
The Gen 2 model maintains the original DoRa’s patented telescopic design while adding critical operational improvements that make it a faster and most versatile manually operated load binder, Doleco says.
“If you’re going to invest in load binders for your securing needs, the DoRa Gen 2 delivers capabilities that no other manually operated binder can match,” says Ralph Abato, president and managing director of Doleco USA. “It performs all the functions of a standard load binder while offering our patented telescopic design that provides both the industry’s most compact form factor and longest extension range.”
Doleco says the DoRa Gen 2’s re-engineered thread pitch advancement enables operators to achieve four millimeters of spindle movement per 360-degree rotation instead of three, resulting in 33% faster tensioning and release times. This improvement significantly reduces the physical effort and time required for both initial load securing and periodic re-tensioning during transport.
The DoRa Gen 2 also incorporates advanced safety features including visual marking indicators and an unscrewing protection mechanism. As operators extend the internal spindle, Doleco says visual markers alert them when approaching maximum extension, while the mechanical lock prevents complete spindle separation — eliminating the time-consuming and potentially hazardous situation of bent spindles, or having to reassemble separated components in the field.
“Drivers often over- or under-estimate a binder’s reach because they’re unsure how far they can extend it,” Abato says. “Our patent-pending system provides peace of mind through clear visual indicators and mechanical protection, allowing operators to utilize the full extension range without risk of spindle overextension or potential deformation.”
The DoRa Gen 2’s unique value proposition lies in its exceptional range of applications. At 20% shorter than standard load binders when retracted, it fits into tight spaces where conventional binders cannot operate — particularly critical when securing heavy construction equipment where anchor points may be very close to cargo.
Despite its compact size, the DoRa Gen 2 extends to twice the length of standard load binders, virtually eliminating the need to disconnect and reattach chains during periodic re-tensioning. This capability is especially valuable for operators who must inspect and adjust load security after traveling 50 miles from the loading point and every 150 miles or three hours thereafter, as required by transportation regulations.
The DoRa Gen 2 works seamlessly with both traditional steel chains and Doleco’s innovative DoNova PowerLash Textile Lashing Chain, providing operators with maximum flexibility in their cargo securing applications. The binder meets all current industry standards while offering advantages unavailable in any other load binder on the market, the company says.
Competitively priced with standard load binders that lack its advanced features, the DoRa Gen 2 represents a practical upgrade for any flatbed operation. Whether securing construction equipment, industrial machinery or other heavy cargo, Doleco states operators benefit from faster operation, enhanced safety and the flexibility to handle virtually any load-securing scenario.
Doleco USA products are available in the U.S., Canada and Mexico through the company’s Master Distributor network, which includes over 6,000 distribution points, the company says.
