The BS464 Wire Rope Thimble, also known as Galvanised Heart-Shaped Wire Rope Thimbles, Galvanised Heart Shaped Towing Thimble, Heart Shaped Thimble for Wire Rope.
BS464 Wire Rope Thimbles are engineered to deliver basic reinforcement and protection for wire rope loops in low-load scenarios.
Their core function is to stop wire rope loops from deforming or wearing at the contact area, which aids in maintaining the loop's shape during use and extends the service life of the wire rope.
CLGR Wire Rope Thimbles feature easy installation and exceptional durability, and they can be paired with wire rope clips and fiber rope for enhanced performance.
Additionally, we offer a variety of thimble types to choose from, tailored to different wire ropes used in various applications.
