THIMBLES AS1138

Thimbles AS1138 are designed to protect the eye of a wire rope termination, helping maintain the shape and integrity of the rope loop during lifting and rigging operations. By providing a formed surface around the eye, wire rope thimbles help reduce wear caused by contact with shackles, hooks and other connecting hardware.

Manufactured for lifting applications and compliant with AS1138, these galvanised thimbles provide a practical and durable solution for wire rope assemblies used across demanding industrial environments. Available in a range of sizes to suit different wire rope diameters, they can be incorporated into a variety of lifting, rigging and wire rope applications.

Our international suppliers and partners share our commitment to bringing quality lifting products to industry.

Description

Key Features

  • Complies with AS1138: Manufactured to meet the requirements of AS1138, providing a suitable wire rope fitting for lifting and rigging applications.
  • Galvanised finish: The galvanised construction provides added protection against corrosion and helps the thimble withstand demanding working environments.
  • Protects wire rope eyes: Thimbles support and reinforce the formed eye of a wire rope, helping minimise deformation and wear where the rope connects to lifting hardware.
  • Available in multiple sizes: Available in sizes from 6 mm to 32 mm, allowing the appropriate thimble to be selected according to the wire rope diameter and application requirements.
  • Designed for lifting applications: Built for use within wire rope assemblies where reliable eye protection and support are required.

Applications:

Thimbles AS1138 are commonly used in:

  • Crane and lifting operations
  • Wire rope slings
  • General rigging applications
  • Construction and infrastructure projects
  • Mining and industrial operations
  • Marine and offshore applications
  • Material handling equipment
  • Lifting and hoisting systems
  • Wire rope assemblies
  • General-purpose lifting applications

Note: Thimbles must be correctly matched to the wire rope size and incorporated into the wire rope assembly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable Australian Standards. Wire rope assemblies and associated fittings should be regularly inspected for wear, deformation, corrosion and other signs of damage.
