Are there any Canadian suppliers of the ferrules and wedges like Labonville sells?  Called the local wire rope company and the salesman kept going huh? never heard of it, can't get it.  Described the two wedges and collar..... never heard of anything like that can't get it.  But if you send me the link to this other company will see what I can do  ???  If I order from the Labonville site just for the ferrule and wedge the shipping will be around $40 no counting for taxes and fees. 

  This same local company advertises that they can custom make cables and slings... so ok can you make me a couple chokers 20" long( so I can use them as extentions with my 6'x 1/2")  nope too short plus YOU would have to supply the slides we can't get them.   

Are there any Ontario suppliers out there?  Online searches come up empty.  Just want to be able to replace my mainline and get back to the woods next weekend once it gets warmer than -25°C.

DDDFarmer, Have you tried Sling Choker ??? They have offices across the North and at least the Sudbury office were quite well versed in cable, chokers etc etc. They used to make them onsite. There is also a small company in North Bay called Canadian Rigging....the guy to talk to is Pierre. If you cant find #'s let me know and I'll PM you.

Hope that helps !!

I knew she was a keeper when she told me to buy the old skidder !!!!!

Sling choker in Timmins will only make you a choker for skidding if you supply the riggings. For the other question of the ferrule he went Huh?

Will try the other places, Thanks.

KG Chase has several sites in NB.  I think they will make custom chokers.

Used to get that stuff over in the Ste. Adele area.  I'll see if I can dig up the contact info.

Called Sling choker in North Bay, very helpful and even knew what I was talking about....  They had the ferrule and wedges in stock and I don't have to supply the slide to make the choker extensions.  Chokers were going to made up before closing today and might just make the bus tonight....  Asked why the same company closer to me couldn't supply or even understood what I was asking for, he didn't know what to say  ::)

Thanks guys.

We used Wire Rope Industries almost exclusively for heli rigging. . The product and service were top notch. I would cut up the scrap chokers and take a box of bells to them to be re used, other suppliers would not do that.
