WIRE THIMBLE
WIRE THIMBLE
📌 Overview
The Stainless Steel Wire Thimble is a protective fitting used to reinforce the eye or loop of a wire rope, preventing deformation, abrasion, or wear at the termination point. Wire thimbles are widely used in rigging, lifting, marine, industrial, and outdoor applications, providing a durable, long-lasting connection between wire ropes and other hardware such as shackles, hooks, and turnbuckles.
Manufactured from SS304 (A2) and SS316 (A4) stainless steel, wire thimbles offer excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and long-term durability, making them ideal for harsh environments and marine applications.
