The Machining & Welding 4 IN 2-Ply Steel Choker is a ply steel choker end fitting sized at 4 in, rated by break strength to 58,000 lbs.

Keeping fittings like this on hand lets your rigging shop build custom sling lengths and configurations rather than special-ordering complete assemblies.

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

Building slings from rated components lets a rigging shop cover unusual lengths or configurations that off-the-shelf slings do not offer.

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.

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.

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.

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