Two double wrapped chokers are used in which arrangement to maximize contact between sling and load?

• A. Basket hitch
• B. Two double wrapped chokers
• C. Single wrap
• D. Three-leg sling

Answer: (B)

Maximizing contact between the sling and the load comes from increasing the wrap length and the surface area where the sling touches the load. Two wraps around the load with each choker doubled provides more contact length and two separate contact lines, which increases friction and distributes the load more evenly. This arrangement reduces the chance of slippage and helps protect the load from damage by spreading pressure over a larger area. Other setups either reduce contact length (a single wrap) or change how the sling bears the load (such as a cradle/basket-style arrangement or different sling configurations) and don’t offer the same level of surface contact.
