Built from aluminum, the Machining & Welding 2 IN Aluminum Choker is a choker fitting sized at 2 in, rated to 16,800 lbs.

Triangle fittings suit vertical hitch connections, while choker fittings are shaped to accept a return pass of the sling body for a choker hitch.

Consistent manufacturing tolerances keep the fitting's rated capacity predictable, which matters when it becomes part of a larger sling assembly.

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

Maintenance departments, fabrication shops, warehouses, and construction crews all rely on equipment in this category to handle lifts that come up again and again. Having the right beam or crane on hand means operators are not left rigging a load with mismatched slings or borrowed hardware, which keeps every lift consistent regardless of who is running it that day.

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.

Rigging hardware like this sees repeated use, so look for equipment that is properly rated, clearly marked, and traceable to a manufacturer that stands behind its specifications. Keeping documentation on hand for each piece of equipment also makes routine inspections and any future certification requirements easier to manage.

Details on capacity, dimensions, and hardware are listed below for a quick comparison against your requirements.
