Spring Binders

I haul alot of heavy equipment for my job, and we use both the ratchet binders and the constant tension spring ratchet binders. I avoid the spring ratchet binders whenever possible because I've seen them fail on multiple occasions. However, my leadership insists they're used when securing rubber tired equipment to keep tension when the equipment bounces.
Though recently I was told by a co-worker and fellow equipment hauler that the spring binders were banned by Federal DOT because they fail so easily.
Does anyone know if this is true? If so, where can I find the regulations so I can pass it onto my leadership?
