Which rigging hitch forms a slip noose around the object being lifted or moved?

The choker hitch is designed specifically to create a slip noose around the object being lifted or moved. This type of hitch provides a secure grip on the load by allowing the rigging line to tighten as the load is lifted, ensuring that the object is securely held in place. The design of the choker hitch enables it to adjust to various load shapes and sizes, making it versatile for different lifting scenarios.

When the load is lifted, the hitch tightens around the object, reducing the risk of slippage during the lift. This characteristic is particularly useful when working with irregularly shaped or unstable loads that require additional security. The ability to create a snug fit around the load while maintaining flexibility in the rigging system is essential for safety and efficiency in lifting operations.
