The Machining & Welding 8 IN 2-Ply Steel Choker gives you a 8 in ply steel choker, rated to 112,000 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.

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.

As with any lifting equipment, never exceed the rated working load limit, and inspect slings, hooks, shackles, and connection points before every use. Confirm compatibility with your hoist, crane, or trolley system before placing an order, and follow your facility's rigging and lockout procedures for every lift. A few minutes spent checking hardware condition and load balance up front is far cheaper than dealing with a dropped or shifted load later, and it keeps your team's daily routine consistent from one job to the next.

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.
