Figure 3-24.—Determination of single-basket
hitch sling capacity.
Single-Choker Hitch (fig. 3-26): For sling
angles of 45 degrees or more, SWL = SWL (of
single-vertical hitch) x 3/4 or .75.
Figure 3-26.—Determination of single-choker
hitch sling capacity.
Sling angles of less than 45 degrees are not
recommended; however, if they are used, the formula
is SWL = SWL (of single-vertical hitch) x A/B.
