Choker Hitch Rated Capacity Adjustment
For slings in choker hitch when angle of choke is less than 120 degrees.
When a choker hitch is drawn tight at an angle of less than 120 degrees, the Choker Hitch Rated Capacity shown in the sling Rated Capacity Tables must be reduced to allow for loss of Rated Capacity. In controlled tests, where the angle was less then 120 degrees, the sling body should always fail at the point of choke when pulled to destruction. Allowance for this phenomenon must be made anytime a choker hitch is used to shift, turn, or control a load, or when the pull is against the choke in a multi-leg lift.
