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.

Pro Tip: If you’re used to standard Cat Chokers but want something more durable, a Ring Choker is a great option. The integrated forged ring resists wear and makes repeated hook-ups more consistent, especially in toggle and pin-style systems. It adds a little weight and cost, but many pros find it well worth it.

Key Features:

  • Connection Ring: Forged 7/8" x 4" steel ring mounted in a reinforced (thimbled) eye
  • Choker Hook: Equipped with a Midget-size choker hook for efficient, secure log choking
  • Medium Duty+ Rating: Stronger than standard 1/2" chokers, ideal for heavier loads
  • Built In-House: Manufactured by our skilled logging rigging team
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for use with toggle systems, winch lines, shackles, or direct tractor hook-up
  • NOT for Overhead Lifting: For ground-based skidding operations only

Built for Durability in Demanding Skidding Conditions

Our 9/16" Ring Choker is the go-to choice for loggers who want more strength and long-term performance than a 1/2" model can provide. With a forged steel ring and reinforced thimbled eye, this Medium Duty+ choker stands up to harsh conditions, making it a favorite among professionals using toggles or hauling big timber day after day.
