Product Identity
Dayton 2VKL3 wire rope thimbles are zinc-plated steel fittings sized for 3/8 inch compatible rope diameter. The open-end design forms a protective eye that reduces wear on lifting slings. Supplied as a pack of 25 pieces for rigging crews and maintenance teams.
What the Pack Changes
Having 25 thimbles on hand lets a crew equip multiple slings or replace worn eyes without waiting for a reorder. The bulk quantity suits workshops that terminate wire rope regularly and need consistent hardware for each job.
Deciding Specification
The 3/8 inch compatible rope diameter determines whether this thimble matches the sling in use. If the wire rope is a different size, the eye will not seat correctly and the assembly will not be safe for lifting.

Questions about this item
How often should I replace the zinc-plated steel thimbles in a daily lifting rig?
Inspect each thimble before every lift; replace any piece that shows distortion, cracking or zinc coating worn down to bare steel.
What is the first limit reached when the same 3/8 in rope runs through these thimbles continuously?
The 1/16 in wall thickness will deform before the rope or the 1 5/8 in loop length becomes a constraint.
Do the thimbles get hot or noisy when the load cycles all day?
Steel construction produces no audible noise and negligible heat rise under normal lifting cycles.
