Grade 80 Cast Steel Logging Choker Hook

No.502053

The Grade 80 Cast Steel Logging Choker Hook is a specialized, heavy-duty rigging component designed exclusively for the demanding environments of the forestry and logging industries. It is used to securely grab and tighten chains around logs for efficient skidding, pulling, and hauling operations.

  • Optimized Choker Design: Features a large interior bowl that allows the chain to move freely and smoothly tighten around logs, while a specially designed narrow slotted tip prevents accidental unhooking during transit.
  • High-Strength Material: Manufactured from premium Grade 80 cast alloy steel, delivering exceptional durability and high resistance to the severe abrasion and impact typical in tree-work and forestry.
  • Heavy-Duty Capacity: Rated for high Working Load Limits (WLL) with a reliable 4:1 safety factor, ensuring consistent performance and maximum safety under dynamic pulling stresses.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Engineered to securely fit standard Grade 70 and Grade 80 logging chains, making it easy to convert existing chains into highly efficient choker assemblies.

Product Features

  • Sliding Choker Action: Designed with a smooth, wide throat that lets the chain slide effortlessly. As the winch pulls, the hook naturally tightens the chain loop around the log for a secure grip during dragging.
  • Rugged Cast Steel: Manufactured from high-strength Cast Alloy Steel to withstand extreme abrasion and shock loads when dragging logs over rocks, roots, and stumps.
  • Forestry Rated: Ideal for use with Cable Skidders, Forestry Tractors, and Log Winches. Tested to Grade 80 standards to match G80 forestry chains.
  • Easy Attachment: The clevis connection allows for fast, secure attachment to the main winch line or chain, while the hook body engages the chain link to form the loop.
