Thimbles are used in rigging and securing wire ropes and cables. Designed to provide a protective loop, they enhance the strength and longevity of the rope by preventing it from bending sharply, which can lead to wear and damage.
HIDEA grade 304/316 thimbles offer excellent corrosion resistance. Our stainless steel thimbles come in various shapes and sizes, tailored to fit different wire rope diameters and configurations. If properly used, they can maintain the integrity of the rope's eye (the loop at the end), allowing for secure connections with shackles, hooks, or other rigging hardware. Moreover, HIDEA thimbles help distribute load more evenly, reducing stress points and enhancing overall safety. All of our s/s thimbles are manufactured using investment casting and electro polishing, their robust design makes them a reliable choice for demanding applications where strength and durability are crucial. Whether used in lifting operations, towing, or securing loads, our thimbles can ensuring safe and effective rigging solutions.
