Pack of 10 8mm Galvanised Steel Thimbles Wire Rope Lashing Cable Hook & Loop Clamp - Silver

A thimble is used inside a wire rope loop to protect the rope from abrasion and crushing, maintaining its shape and strength under load.

Yes, these galvanised steel thimbles are suitable for use with both galvanised and stainless steel wire rope. However, for marine environments where maximum corrosion resistance is needed, stainless steel thimbles might be preferred.

This pack contains 10 galvanised steel thimbles.

Yes, when installed correctly with appropriate securing methods, these thimbles are suitable for lifting and towing applications, providing a strengthened loop termination.

You will need wire rope grips (also known as cable clamps) or a wire rope crimping tool with appropriate sleeves to secure the loop after the thimble is in place.

Thimble size is matched to the diameter of the wire rope. These thimbles are specifically designed for 8mm wire rope.

Ensure you are using thimbles designated for 8mm wire rope. Using a thimble too large or small will compromise the strength of the termination.

While galvanised steel offers protection, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments can still cause surface rust. This is often superficial and may not affect structural integrity. Clean the area and monitor closely. For critical applications, consider stainless steel alternatives.

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of wire rope grips or crimping sleeves. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the chosen securing method for proper placement and torque settings.
