The H-Lift Stainless Steel U.S. Type Standard Duty Wire Rope Thimble meets Federal Specification FF-T-276B Type II standards for light-duty applications. Constructed from AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel with cast or formed design, these thimbles protect wire rope eyes in static, low-load environments, available in sizes from 1/8" to 1".
H-Lift US Type Standard Duty Wire Rope Thimbles are modeled after the G-411 pattern and conform to Federal Specification FF-T-276b Type II. These thimbles are designed to create a rigid steel loop inside the wire rope eye, effectively preventing cable collapse, kinking, and chafing in light-to-medium duty rigging applications.
Conforms to FF-T-276b Type II standards, ensuring perfect compatibility with US-specification rigging hardware.
Premium saltwater resistance for yacht rigging and coastal projects. Also available in AISI 304 for general outdoor use.
Features a precision-pressed shallow groove to seat the wire rope securely without damaging individual wire strands.
Available in a full range of US imperial sizes from 1/8" to 1-1/4" to fit standard diameter stainless steel cables.
Q: What is the difference between G-411 and G-414 thimbles?
A: G-411 is the "Standard" pattern (Type II), which is lighter and used for general rigging. G-414 is the "Extra Heavy Duty" pattern (Type III), featuring thicker steel walls for lifting and high-tension environments.
Q: Does this thimble meet Federal Specifications?
A: Yes, this thimble follows the dimensional requirements of Federal Specification FF-T-276b Type II.
