Product Overview
What The Wire Rope Thimble Is
A thimble is a small part that decides how long a rope termination lasts. Without one the eye closes onto whatever it is connected to, the rope is crushed at the bearing point and the wires break from the inside.
Carl Stahl China supplies thimbles alongside the rest of the wire rope accessory range including hooks and terminations. We have cooperated with the same factory for over 13 years, and all goods are strictly produced according to standards and tested before shipment.
