Abstract: A slider is provided for connecting a choker assembly including a choker rope having an end provided with a ferrule, to a winchline. The slider has a first winchline-receiving link in the form of a first elongated closed loop defining a first elongated opening for receiving the winchline. The first link also has a longitudinal axis and a pair of opposite ends on the axis, one of the ends is substantially larger in section than the other one and has a curved bottom wall. This first link also has top and bottom surfaces, and a substantially trapezoidal configuration when seen in side elevational view. The slider also has a second choker-rope receiving link in the form of a second elongated loop defining a second opening. This second link is provided with a longitudinal U-shaped slot leading from the second opening out of the second link through an end thereof. This U-shaped slot is sized for receiving the choker rope and has a first extremity within the second opening which defines a seat for the ferrule.
