Steel Wire Rope Thimble

Steel wire rope thimble is a device used to create a reinforced loop at the end of a wire rope or cable. The thimble helps to prevent the wire rope from kinking or fraying when it is under tension or being pulled.

In the context of lashing kits, steel wire rope thimbles are commonly used to create a secure anchor point for securing cargo or other items. The thimble is typically inserted into the loop of the wire rope, and the wire rope is then attached to the anchor point using a hook, shackle, or other type of connector.

Steel wire rope thimbles come in a variety of sizes and materials, including galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. It is important to choose the correct size and material for the application to ensure maximum strength and durability.

When using a steel wire rope thimble for lashing kits, it is important to follow proper safety procedures and ensure that the thimble is properly installed and secured. Improper use or installation of the thimble can result in damage to the wire rope or cargo and can also pose a safety risk to workers.
