Shackles are used in both lifting and static systems as removable links to connect wire ropes, chains and other fittings.
Thimbles are used to protect steel wire ropes, fibre ropes or synthetic ropes eyes.
The dimensions of the thimbles must be so that the rope fits properly into the groove of the thimble.
There is no specific load, work load, proof load or break load for thimbles. If any load is given, it should be
applied to the master link only.
Sockets are the strongest steel wire rope end fitting available on the market and can meet the breaking strength of
the steel wire rope if assembled correctly. They are used for lifting, towing, rigging, constructions and anchor
lines.
Once the socket is placed on the steel wire, it cannot be removed as it is mounted with hot liquid resin, zinc or
white metal. Once cooled, it will be fully hardened and
impossible to remove.
We also manufacture swaged eyes with the possibility of a thimble. Our installation allows us to go up to a 90 mm diameter steel wire. The working load limit of the final assembly can be modified according to the chosen end fitting, as shown in the chart below.
