Thimble “ SKU: 665 The Grooved Metal Insert That Protects Your 5/16-Inch Aircraft Cable at Every Connection Point At 3-ton capacity, every component in your hoist's cable and rigging system must perform reliably ” including the hardware that protects the cable where it forms a loop. The Thimble (SKU: 665) is the genuine OEM replacement thimble engineered for the Lug-All model 6000-15, providing critical protection for the 5/16-inch aircraft cable at its most vulnerable point: the eye termination. This thimble is compatible with Lug-All model 6000-15 only. Lug-All The Lug-All model 6000-15 is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade 3-ton cable come along hoist delivering 3,000 lbs in single line with 15 feet of cable, or 6,000 lbs in double line with 7 feet 6 inches of cable. ShoreLandr A wire rope thimble is a grooved, metal insert placed inside a wire rope eye to protect the rope from wear and prevent kinking at connection points. By providing a smooth, rigid surface for shackles, hooks, and other hardware to bear against, thimbles significantly extend rope life while maintaining the integrity of eye terminations. J Harlen Co. Without a thimble, the cable at an eye termination is subjected to direct contact with connecting hardware ” shackles, hooks, pins, or anchor points ” that concentrates stress at the apex of the loop with each load cycle. Thimbles are used in the eye of wire rope slings to protect the cable from abrasion and eye deformation. Repeated load use on an unprotected cable eye can result in frayed and damaged cable strands, leading to premature failure. At the 6000-15's 5/16-inch cable diameter and 3-ton operating loads, this degradation happens faster than on lighter-duty hoists ” making proper thimble maintenance especially important. Lug-All The thimble's groove size must match the nominal diameter of the wire rope ” a properly sized thimble maintains the eye's shape under load, prevents the rope from flattening around the connection point, and distributes the bearing force across the full groove profile rather than concentrating it on the rope strands directly. The SKU 665 is dimensioned to match the 6000-15's 5/16-inch 7×19 aircraft cable exactly. J Harlen Co. Using authentic Lug-All replacement parts means sustaining the original design integrity of your unit ” the cast-aluminum structure, robust pawl assemblies, and reliable hardware that make Lug-All hoists a trusted choice in demanding industrial, construction, and utility settings.

Important Sizing Note The SKU 665 thimble is sized specifically for 5/16-inch diameter cable as used on the 6000-15. Using an incorrectly sized thimble ” either too small or too large for the cable diameter ” results in improper seating, uneven load distribution, and accelerated cable wear at the termination point. Always match thimble size to cable diameter precisely. Lug-All Order SKU 665 today and protect your Lug-All 6000-15 cable termination from wear, deformation, and premature failure.
