Single Leg Thimble & Thimble
Thimble & Thimble Wire Rope Slings
Single-leg thimble & thimble wire rope slings are designed for heavy-duty lifting applications where the sling eyes need added protection from abrasion and wear. Reinforced thimbles at both ends help maintain eye shape and provide durable connection points for compatible hardware such as anchor shackles.
These slings can be used in vertical, basket, and approved choker hitch applications when selected according to the required capacity and manufacturer ratings.
