Product Description

3/8" Skidder Choker – Light Duty Steel Cable Choker for Slider Systems

Our 3/8" Skidder Choker is purpose-built for use in slider systems, where multiple chokers are attached to a mainline (or drumline) via sliding hooks. Unlike our Cat Chokers, which feature an eye on one end, this Light Duty skidder version has a nub on each end, making it the right choice for commercial or professional skidding setups using tractors, skidders, or winch trucks equipped with a bell-style slider system.

Each choker is made from 6x19 class IWRC EIPS wire rope and finished with swaged end fittings for strength and durability. It comes equipped with a Micro Midget-size choker hook as part of the bell and nub system, allowing the log to be cinched securely once the choker is wrapped around it.

Pro Tip: These skidder chokers are designed specifically for slider systems. They do not have an eye and cannot be hooked directly to a tractor, pickup, or tow vehicle. If you're not using a sliding bell hook on a drumline, you probably want our Cat Choker instead. This is a common ordering mistake—please double-check your system before purchasing.

Key Features:

  • End Fittings: Swaged nub on both ends for slider system compatibility
  • Choker Hook: Outfitted with a Micro Midget-size hook for efficient, secure log choking
  • Light Duty Rating: Ideal for smaller logs and lighter skidding work
  • Slider System Compatible: Designed specifically for drumline setups with sliding bell-style hooks
  • Built In-House: Fabricated by our experienced logging rigging crew
  • NOT for Direct Hook-Up: Not suitable for tractors, tow balls, or shackles—see our Cat Choker instead

Specifications:

  • Diameter: 3/8"
  • Wire Rope Type: 6x19 Class IWRC EIPS
  • Standard Lengths: 6 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, 15 ft, and 20 ft
  • Custom Lengths: Available on request

Purpose-Built for Slider Systems in Professional Logging

Designed for use with traditional drumline and bell-style sliders, our 3/8" Skidder Choker offers a reliable, lightweight solution for small-log skidding tasks. With a Micro Midget-size choker hook and double-nub configuration, it’s a perfect match for professional forestry crews already running a slider system—just make sure this is the style you need before ordering.
