A thumb grab is a must have! Strong statement maybe but once you have had one on a machine and then drive one without, your blood will boil pretty quickly. Going back to chasing lumps of concrete or wood and trying to balance them on the bucket gets old very quick!
Whether it is a hydraulic or manual version they are are always on the machine ready for use. Our digger thumb grabs can be used with buckets, ripper tines, rakes etc. This makes an excavator thumb grab a very versatile tool. Our thumb grabs come in many sizes to suit your machine. There are no standard sizes in the excavator industry regarding bucket lengths and quickhitch size, one size definitely does not fit all.
For each size range of machine we have several fork lengths. This is to ensure the thumb will work correctly and the geometry will match your current buckets and quickhitch if fitted.
