Wire Rope Clamp and Thimble Kits—Not for Lifting



Kits include clamps and thimbles to protect the inside of wire rope loops from fraying. Clamps must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end.
Galvanized steel and iron clamps and thimbles are corrosion resistant.
18-8 stainless steel clamps and thimbles are chemical resistant.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
