Nylon Lifting Sling – Triangle Choker – 3″ x 8′ – 2-ply

A 3 inch choker style triangle sling is one of the more common widths for rigging that needs to move between choker, vertical, and basket hitches. Also called a type 1 sling or choker style triangle sling, this triangle choker sling works in all three hitch types: choker, vertical, and basket, since the slotted triangle at one end lets the other end pass through for choking down on a load. This 2-ply construction steps up capacity over the 1-ply option.

Key Features

• Slotted triangle at one end, standard triangle at the other, both in steel
• Works in choker, vertical, and basket hitch configurations
• Made in the USA to industry standards
• 3-ply and 4-ply capacities available through custom order by contacting our sales team
• Sewn-in tag lists working load limits across all three hitch types

Applications

• Jobs that need to switch between choker, vertical, and basket hitches without changing slings
• Loads that need to be choked down, where a plain triangle sling isn’t built for that hitch
• Crews standardizing on one triangle choker sling for rigging flexibility across hitch types

Determining Sling Length

Sling length is measured from the load-bearing point of one eye to the load-bearing point of the opposite eye, providing the effective working length of the sling.

Sling Proof Testing Certificates

Proof testing certificates are available for a nominal fee and must be requested at the time of your order. For certified proof testing, each sling is individually tested at the factory to twice its rated vertical rating, and the results are formally documented for compliance purposes. Under normal production procedures, only select slings are tested as part of routine quality checks. Because of this, every sling requiring a proof test certificate must be tested individually during manufacturing.
