Choke Strap, pole choke device is commonly used throughout UK utility companies as a preferred means of linesmen maintaining permanent attachment while ascending and descending wooden poles. The device is manufactured in red and black webbing, and a choke action is achieved by connecting the device correctly and the design of the strap running through a series of rollers. The Choke Strap conforms to EATS 43-123, Class A1 when it is used in conjunction with a metal gaff, which is supplied seperately, as our part number LAN131. The user is required to undertake a risk assessment as to when to ascend or descend a pole without the use of the gaff.
