How do straight lifts differ from chokers in terms of load distribution and capacity?

• A. Straight lifts concentrate force and reduce capacity and stability, making the lift more sensitive to angle and load movement.
• B. Straight lifts use full sling length and yield the most predictable load distribution; chokers concentrate force and reduce capacity and stability, making the lift more sensitive to angle and load movement.
• C. Straight lifts are faster; chokers slower but more stable.
