Built from aluminum, the Machining & Welding 4 IN Aluminum Choker is a choker fitting sized at 4 in, rated to 33,500 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.

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

Facilities ranging from small machine shops to large distribution centers keep equipment like this on hand for the lifts that come up week after week. It is the kind of tool that earns its spot on the floor by saving time on every single pick, and it pays for itself quickly once it replaces improvised rigging on a recurring job.

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.

Durability matters as much as initial capacity when choosing rigging equipment, since hardware that wears unevenly or corrodes quickly ends up costing more over its service life. Choosing components built to recognized manufacturing standards is one of the simplest ways to avoid that added cost down the road.

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