What is a Wire Rope Thimble ?
A wire rope thimble is a specialized piece of rigging hardware used in conjunction with wire ropes or cables to create a reinforced, protected, and secure attachment point. It is designed to prevent chafing, abrasion, and deformation of the wire rope or cable where it makes contact with a load, a connector, or a surface. Wire rope thimbles are commonly used in various lifting, rigging, and load-bearing applications.
