Chicago Brand 221153 Heavy Duty Wire Rope Thimble 3/8"

The Chicago Brand 221153 is a heavy duty wire rope thimble designed for 3/8" wire rope applications. This thimble provides essential protection and support for wire rope eyes in demanding rigging, lifting, and industrial applications.

Key Features:

• Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for superior corrosion resistance and long service life
• Heavy duty design meets Federal Specification FF-T-276b Type III performance requirements
• Prevents crushing, fraying, and deformation of wire rope eyes under load
• Manufactured in the USA by Chicago Hardware
• Suitable for use with high-grade wire rope in heavy commercial applications

Wire rope thimbles are inserted into the eye or loop of a wire rope assembly to create a reinforced termination point. The thimble distributes loads evenly around the rope eye, protecting it from wear and extending the working life of the wire rope. This heavy duty model features thicker, more robust construction compared to light duty thimbles, making it ideal for high-load and safety-critical situations in rigging, marine, construction, and heavy equipment applications.
