Galvanized Wire Rope Thimbles

Galvanized Wire Rope Thimbles are crucial components used to secure boat lift wire rope cables. Made of durable electro-galvanized steel, they offer strong protection and longevity for your boat lift system. These thimbles are designed to keep your wire rope cables safe and secure.

A standout feature of these thimbles is their grooved-lip design, which prevents the cable from slipping out. This is especially important when dealing with heavy loads to maintain a secure connection and prevent accidents.

Their main job is to protect the wire rope from damage when connecting it to different parts. When you create a loop in the wire rope, there’s a risk of it bending too much, which can cause damage. Thimbles help maintain the loop’s natural shape, preventing pinching and wear.

Using thimbles in loops is standard practice because they offer several benefits. They act as a buffer between the load and the cable, distributing the load evenly and reducing stress on the wires. This helps prevent the cable from breaking and extends its lifespan.

These thimbles work best with 7 x 19 aircraft cables for boat lifts, recommended by BH-USA for their strength and reliability. It’s important to factor in a 5:1 safety margin when calculating working loads for safety.
