some US federal agencies now require ratchet type for transport (forestry service is one) and lever style not approved.This is why I use ratchet binders now. Also, have had a few bruises from the lever style.
I would not be surprised to see DOT following this in years to come.
when hauling bobcat around I also wrap the the lever, usually the chain slack itself is enough but if not I bungee.
