The Machining & Welding 5 IN Aluminum Choker is a aluminum choker end fitting sized at 5 in, rated by break strength to 40,000 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.

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.

Pairing the right lifting equipment with proper technique keeps a shop's safety record intact. Inspect connection points regularly, respect the rated working load limit, and make sure every operator understands how the rigging is meant to be used before the first lift of the day. Small, consistent habits like these tend to matter more over time than any single piece of equipment, no matter how well it is built.

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.
