Thimbles are not assigned Working Load Limits because they alone do not support a load. They are simply there to protect the wire rope and help preserve the overall shape of the eye. When we receive used slings for inspection, often the thimbles are badly deformed and damaged to the point they need to be replaced or removed, but the integrity of the sling is still in tact. We hope this information is helpful. Please give us a call if you have any additional questions.
