Frequently Asked Questions
Measure the distance from the center of the bucket's front pin to the top tip of the bucket teeth. This measurement ensures the thumb body matches your bucket perfectly for optimal grip.
Mechanical thumbs are typically locked in place or manually operated, offering simplicity and durability, while hydraulic thumbs are controlled via the machine's hydraulic system for effortless remote operation.
Yes, our mechanical thumbs are designed to be compatible with various brands of excavators and backhoe loaders through customizable weld-on mounting brackets.
Hardox 450 provides significantly higher abrasion resistance and hardness, making it ideal for heavy-duty mining and demolition where the thumb is exposed to constant friction.
Provide us with the distance between your bucket teeth and the width of the main blade. We will then customize the thumb tine spacing to ensure they interlace for maximum grabbing capability.
The standard kit includes the Thumb Body, Support Stick, Weld-on Mounting Bracket, 3 Hardened Pins, and all necessary Bolts and Nuts for securing the pins.
