Wire Rope and End Fittings

Medium Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

Also known as standard-pattern thimbles, these provide better protection against fraying than light duty thimbles.

Heavy Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—For Lifting

Also known as heavy-pattern thimbles, these can be used to reinforce the loop of a sling.

Light Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

These thimbles are also known as thin pattern thimbles.

Open-End Light Duty Wire
Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

The open-end design leaves more room for connections than other thimbles.

Closed-End Light Duty Wire
Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

Smooth rounded edges and an endless design prevent snags.

Wire Rope Clamp and Thimble Kits—Not for Lifting

Kits include clamps and thimbles to support a wire rope loop and prevent it from fraying. Clamps must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end.

Wire Rope Clamps with Thimbles—Not for Lifting

A clamp and thimble in one convenient fitting simplifies installation while providing support and fray protection to the wire rope loop. Use a torque wrench to tighten the clamp.

Wire Rope Compression Sleeve
and Thimble Kits—Not for Lifting

These kits include two compression sleeves paired with two thimbles. The thimbles support the wire rope loops and prevent it from fraying.

Steel Wire Rope with Reinforced Loop—For Lifting

With a reinforced loop, also known as a thimble eye, installed on one end, quickly attach a hook or a shackle to a wire rope.

Galvanized Steel Wire Rope with
Reinforced Loop—For Lifting

The galvanized finish resists corrosion.

Reinforced Loop-to-Loop Lanyards—Not for Lifting

A thimble on the inside of the loop protects the wire rope from fraying.

Wire Rope Slings

These slings are more abrasion and cut resistant than web and round slings, yet lighter in weight than mesh and chain slings.
