Hot Dip Galvanized Heavy Duty Wire Rope Thimble

This heavy duty thimble is built with thicker material and a larger bearing surface than the standard thimble in this range, reflected in its weight, which runs from 6.5 pounds per 100 units at 1/4 inch rope diameter up to 9,680 pounds per 100 units at 3-1/2 inch, the largest size in the entire thimble lineup. Hot-dip galvanizing provides the heavier, more durable coating suited to the outdoor and marine-duty applications this thimble is typically specified for. Where the standard thimble is designed for general use, this heavy duty version is the choice for high-load slings and rigging where the rope eye needs a reinforced bearing surface to resist deformation under sustained heavy load.
