What is the best sling configuration for moving pipe through the shop?

  1. Single wrap

  2. Double wrap

  3. Basket hitch

  4. Chocked configuration

The correct answer is: Chocked configuration

The chocked configuration is the best option for moving pipe through the shop. A single wrap or double wrap may cause the pipe to roll and slip out of the sling, compromising safety. A basket hitch, where the sling is passed underneath the pipe and secured on top, may also cause the pipe to roll and potentially injure workers. Chocking the pipe between two slings helps distribute the weight evenly and provides a secure hold on the pipe, making it the best option for safe and efficient pipe movement in the shop.
