1/2" MEDIUM DUTY Skidding Choker

1/2" Skidder Choker – Medium Duty Steel Cable Choker for Slider Systems

Our 1/2" Skidder Choker is a Medium Duty logging choker built for use with slider systems, where multiple chokers connect to a main winch line using sliding hooks. This choker has a nub on both ends, making it incompatible with direct hook-up methods. It’s designed specifically for crews using a bell-style slider system on a drumline, common in professional forestry and log skidding operations.

Each unit is made from tough 6x19 class IWRC EIPS wire rope and finished with professionally swaged fittings. It’s equipped with a Midget-size choker hook—a reliable, time-tested choice for choking logs in the woods. Durable, dependable, and made in-house by our rigging team, this choker is ready for field use in rugged environments.
