Aluminium Spliced Winch Thimble UPDATED DESIGN

Spliced Winch Thimble (SWT)

The Spliced Winch Thimble is designed for those upgrading from a link or winch hook, reducing metal in the recovery system. It offers improved security and reduced overhang with a positive capture system, enhancing recovery setup neatness and strength.

Key Features

• Significantly reduces metal in the recovery system compared to links or winch hooks
• Expertly Ceramic Coated by CERAKOTE USA in Australia for durability
• Unique positive capture system locks the thimble inside the fairlead to reduce overhang
• Requires rope splicing knowledge for installation
• Long bury or locking splice strongly recommended for secure fit
• Working load limit depends on rope and splicing method used

Product Overview

The SWT is ideal for recovery enthusiasts wishing to optimise their rope system by significantly reducing metal components and associated weight. Its ceramic coating improves resistance to wear and environmental damage. The positive capture system ensures the thimble remains securely locked inside the fairlead, minimising protrusion and potential snagging during recovery operations. Proper splicing techniques are essential for maximising the working load limit and maintaining safety.

Technology & Materials

The Spliced Winch Thimble features expert Ceramic Coating from CERAKOTE USA applied locally in Australia, enhancing its surface durability and corrosion resistance. The design incorporates a positive capture mechanism to lock the thimble firmly inside the fairlead, reducing overhang and improving system neatness.

Installation & Compatibility

Installation requires rope splicing skills, with recommendations for a long bury or locking splice to ensure secure attachment. The thimble fits inside the fairlead and locks in place to reduce overhang. The working load limit varies depending on the rope and splice used. Familiarity with splicing techniques is necessary for safe and effective installation.

Suitable for recovery setups where reducing metal mass and maintaining secure splicing is a priority.
