For what scenario would a double wrap choker be preferred over a single wrap?

A double wrap choker is preferred when lifting a bundle of pipe due to its increased stability and grip. The double wrap provides additional friction and support, which is particularly beneficial for securing round or irregular shapes, like pipes. This added security helps prevent slippage during the lift, ensuring that the load remains balanced and secure.

In scenarios such as lifting small weights, long beams, or light materials, a single wrap may adequately support the lift, as these items might not need the extra stability that a double wrap provides or can be managed effectively with a single wrap. The specific requirement for stability and grip in lifting bundles of pipe makes the double wrap choker the optimal choice in that context.
