Introduction

When performing forestal hauling operations, tree trunks, stalks or logs, etc. need to be fastened to a

towing rope using sling gear (e.g. choker chains, choker ropes) in order to haul them out of the stand.

Such gear can be of various designs.

Test and condition requirements need to be defined in a standard for such sling gear so that when they

are fulfilled the sling gear can absorb the forces acting on it without breaking. Sling gear for forestal

hauling operations is subject to loads different from those acting on sling gear for lifting applications or

cranes. It is necessary to formulate requirements for sling gear for forestal hauling operations in order to

meet the needs of this situation.
