Built from ply steel, the Machining & Welding 3 IN 2-Ply Steel Choker is a choker fitting sized at 3 in, rated to 44,500 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.

Material selection between ply steel, aluminum, wire mesh, and alloy chain mesh lets you match the fitting's weight and durability to the application.

Every fitting in an assembly needs its own traceable rating, since the weakest link determines what the whole sling can safely lift.

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.

Good lifting practice starts before the load ever leaves the ground: confirm the working load limit fits the job, check that all hardware is in good condition, and keep the load centered to avoid uneven strain on the rigging. These habits matter as much as the equipment itself, and they cost nothing beyond a few extra minutes of attention before each pick, which is a fair trade for a safer shop floor.

Equipment that sees daily use benefits from a quick visual check every time it comes out of storage, not just during scheduled inspections. Catching a small issue, like surface corrosion or a bent component, before it becomes a larger problem keeps rigging hardware safe and in service longer.

Full specifications are listed below so you can confirm fit against your current rigging before it ships.
