The Machining & Welding 12 IN 2-Ply Steel Choker gives you a 12 in ply steel choker, rated to 160,000 lbs.

This fitting attaches to sling material to build or repair a mesh, chain, or webbing sling assembly, giving you a rated connection point at the load or hook end.

The fitting is manufactured to the stated material and rating specification, with a bearing surface sized to distribute load evenly across the sling body it connects to.

Matching fitting material to the sling body and the environment it works in helps the whole assembly wear evenly over its service life.

This type of lifting equipment is common in facilities that move machinery, structural steel, crates, or bulky components as part of daily operations. Rather than treating each lift as a one-off problem, a dedicated piece of equipment turns it into a routine, repeatable task that any trained operator can complete quickly and safely.

Before putting any lifting equipment into service, verify it matches your hoist or crane setup and confirm the rated capacity covers your heaviest expected load with margin to spare. Routine inspection of welds, pins, and connection hardware helps catch wear before it becomes a safety issue. Keep a simple inspection log if your facility does not already have one, since tracking wear over time makes it easier to plan replacement before a part actually fails in use.

Properly rated hardware, stored and maintained correctly, tends to outlast the equipment it gets paired with. Building a simple habit of checking condition before each use costs very little time and pays off in fewer surprises when a piece of rigging hardware is actually under load.
