***Logging rigging is not to be used for overhead lifting. It is only intended for use in logging***

Commonly used in yarding operations because of their longer life due to knob reversibility. When used with line skidders, these knob & knob chokers are connected to the mainline with a twitch hook.

Capacity is noted as maximum line tension in pounds. It is not based on the weight of the log, but the maximum pulling force the choker can be subjected to as log is being skidded. Factors such as terain slope, shock loading, and snags must be taken into account when selecting size.
