Osculati Douglas Marine BIK® Elastomer Mooring Thimbles – 12–22 mm
The Osculati Douglas Marine BIK® Elastomer Mooring Thimbles are designed to provide elastic load absorption for mooring lines. Manufactured from a special black elastomer, these patented thimbles reduce stress transmitted to the mooring rope by cushioning dynamic loads generated by waves, wind, and vessel movement.
Suitable for mooring lines from 12 mm to 22 mm, the BIK® thimbles are available in three sizes with elastic load capacities up to 500 kg, making them ideal for improving mooring comfort and extending the service life of ropes.
