Winch chokers

[caledonian bob]

I bought 4 chokers from Clarkes last month, next day delivery, excellent service as always.

Marshalls had plenty of the bigger link chokers recently and Riko usually had a good pile of normal sized ones in stock when I was there.

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.

But do they have a normal skidding type C hook on the end?

Nope, just bog standard hooks.

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?

i just get hocks from clarkes at times and use old chain as i also use old chain for the jungle buster
