What is the choked capacity for a Polyester Round Sling that is 8' long and yellow in color?

The choked capacity of a Polyester Round Sling is determined by the sling's length and color, with yellow indicating a specific working load limit. For an 8-foot long yellow Polyester Round Sling, the choked capacity is 6,700 pounds. This capacity reflects the maximum weight the sling can safely lift when it is used in a choked configuration, which typically increases the sling's effective strength due to the way the load is secured.

The color coding system for slings is standardized, with yellow slings generally having this particular load limit. Understanding this capacity is crucial for ensuring safe lifting operations, as exceeding the designated load can lead to equipment failure and potential safety hazards.
