Stainless Steel Wire Rope Thimble - Heavy duty. Type 316 s.s. for 3/8 in. wire rope.The 3/8" stainless steel heavy-duty wire rope thimble is crafted for 3/8" diameter wire ropes, offering robust support for loops under heavy tension. It creates a strong, reinforced barrier, protecting the rope from abrasion and structural wear. This size is suitable for industrial lifting systems, construction rigging, and marine towing operations.Stainless steel heavy-duty wire rope thimbles are designed to reinforce and protect wire rope loops in high-load applications, preventing wear and fraying under significant tension. Their solid U-shaped design provides sturdy loop reinforcement while resisting corrosion, making them ideal for construction rigging, industrial lifting systems, and marine applications. These thimbles are best suited for static or heavy-duty setups where loop durability and long-term performance are critical.Type 316 Stainless Steel is a high-performance alloy known for its superior resistance to corrosion, especially in environments exposed to saltwater, chemicals, and extreme weather. Its molybdenum content enhances durability against pitting and crevice corrosion, making it a reliable choice for marine, industrial, and architectural applications. Type 316 Stainless Steel is commonly used for components like turnbuckles in marine mooring systems and stainless steel shackles in industrial lifting setups. Its ability to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining structural integrity makes it an ideal material for demanding rigging environments where safety and longevity are critical.Shop our inventory of Wire Rope Thimbles and complete your project faster with our steel cable and wire rope, wire rope clips, shackles and swage fittings.
