Built from ply steel, the Machining & Welding 8 IN 4-Ply Steel Choker is a choker fitting sized at 8 in, rated to 220,000 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.

The fitting is manufactured to the stated material and rating specification, with a bearing surface sized to distribute load evenly across the sling body it connects to.

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

This type of lifting equipment is common in facilities that move machinery, structural steel, crates, or bulky components as part of daily operations. Rather than treating each lift as a one-off problem, a dedicated piece of equipment turns it into a routine, repeatable task that any trained operator can complete quickly and safely.

Rated capacity should always be treated as a hard limit, not a target, and a quick visual inspection before each lift is one of the simplest ways to keep a lifting operation safe. Make sure your operators are trained on the specific rigging setup this equipment requires, and confirm that anyone signing off on a lift understands how to read the working load limit and match it against the actual load being moved.

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.
