CHOOSING THE RIGHT SLING & HITCH
Selecting the right hitch and sling size is vital for safe lifting. The correct combination ensures stability, even weight distribution, and minimizes the risk of accidents. Using an improper hitch or undersized sling can lead to overloading and failure, while an oversized sling can strain equipment and decrease efficiency. Therefore, careful consideration of load characteristics is key to safe and effective lifting operations.
Vertical Hitch
A sling can be used in a vertical hitch, or straight hitch, by attaching one eye to the load and the opposite end to the lifting mechanism. This is the simplest hitch and will use the full lifting capacity of the sling.
Choker Hitch
A sling can be used in a choker hitch by wrapping the sling around the load, passing one eye through opposite eye, and attaching the eye to the lifting mechanism. Due to stress at the choke point, this hitch reduces the sling's lifting capacity which is dependent on the angle of the choke.
Basket Hitch
A sling can be used in a basket hitch by passing it under the load and attaching both eyes to the lifting mechanism. This hitch has twice the lifting capacity of a single vertical hitch, because it distributes the load equally between the two ends of the sling.

Good size. Is good for my front loader which doesn’t have a ton of height and therefore the less slack in the line the better

It’s just the right length to help pull a 900# mower out when stuck. And not so long as to need to be rolled up or untangled before and and after use.

I am a Master Marine Diesel and Large Yacht Technician. I bought this nylon slings for one propose, to wrap around large Yacht propeller struts to pull large propeller shafts forward and backwards with a cumalong when removing cutless bearings and or shaft couplers.I estimated I would need a approx. 2 foot sling with eyelets at both ends to wrap around the propeller Strut. As it worked out this sling was 4" short, however as it worked our, I used a short chain to loop through the eyes of the strap, and hooked the cumalong lock clip on to that, and it wored like a dream.So I feel that this is useful and tough nylon strap for certain projects, so I recommend it.

Nice thick, sturdy strap. I've used other straps for lifting metal products and the stitching failed. This stitching seems like it's a better quality as far as stitch pattern. It has been in service for several months now and has not shown signs of wear.
