Have you got a Speedy near your. I have had a few from them that were condemed for lifting and failed loler. They are fine for skidding, and i got 3 for a tenner.

 

I used to get brothers where one leg had stretched and failed, 7 and 10 mm, the 7mm take standard Kuplex choker hooks and the 10mm ones just about stood the stress from the 8 tonne Farmi. Never use 7mm chain with more than 4 tonne pull as the safe working load when lifting is only 1500kg.

 

More recently I have seen the tester insisting the chains are destroyed after failing loler assessment when in the past they just cut the ID tags off.

Had a load of strops that failed LOLER. I though I'd use them for towing but no LOLER man cut them up into little bits so the couldn't be used!

 

As for choakers Clarkes as you can order online for convenience.

 

If you break a winch cable can you cut off the broken bit and splice a new loop in or use a set of cable grips or a end stop to keep using it?
