The Machining & Welding 6 IN 4-Ply Steel Choker is a ply steel choker end fitting sized at 6 in, rated by break strength to 165,000 lbs.

This fitting attaches to sling material to build or repair a mesh, chain, or webbing sling assembly, giving you a rated connection point at the load or hook end.

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

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

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.

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.
