Thimble
Thimbles are protective fittings inserted into wire rope eye loops to prevent wear and deformation under load. They are manufactured to ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards in carbon steel, stainless steel, or mild steel. Available in light-duty and heavy-duty designs, they extend the service life of wire rope assemblies. With galvanized, stainless steel, or coated finishes, they provide durability and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in lifting slings, rigging, marine, construction, and transport applications.
