Thimble Eye Wire Rope Slings

Thimble Eye Wire Rope SlingYou will often see equipment of this nature being hand spliced, which means that the end has been folded back on itself, and spliced into the rope. However a thimble eye can also be pressed with a ferrule, using many tonnes of force to provide a strong connection. This creates a strong eye-shaped loop, which can then be utilised with various other pieces of equipment. For example, it can be looped over a hook.Thimble Eye Wire Rope Sling

While an eye on its own is strong, a thimble can help to further strengthen this setup. A thimble is a metallic strip, which has also been folded in order to create this eye loop. The wire rope will run around the thimble, and then spliced back into itself. This makes the end termination a lot stronger and a lot more permanent too.

Having thimbles at each end means that this product can be used for a range of applications. For example, it could be used as a balustrade with each end looping over a hook.
