Product Description
9/16" Ring Choker – Medium Duty+ Steel Cable Choker with Forged Connection Ring
The 9/16" Ring Choker offers extra strength and durability for demanding skidding jobs, combining a Medium Duty+ cable size with a reinforced connection point. Like our standard Cat Choker, it features a bell-style nub on one end, but the eye end includes a 7/8" x 4" forged steel round ring set inside a thimbled eye. This ring provides a dedicated, long-lasting attachment point that’s ideal for professional loggers using toggle systems—and just as functional in general skidding setups.
Made from 6x19 class IWRC EIPS wire rope and professionally swaged for strength, this choker also includes a Midget-size choker hook for quick, secure log wrapping. The thimbled eye protects the rope from wear and makes this a smart upgrade for anyone who wants longer service life out of their chokers.
