KEY FEATURES

• Mechanical operation provides a simple, lower-cost alternative to a hydraulic thumb
• Does not require auxiliary hydraulics, hydraulic hoses, or in-cab controls
• Works with the excavator bucket to grab, hold, sort, and position irregular material
• Three working positions at 90°, 105°, and 120° allow the thumb to be adjusted for different jobs
• Folds against the excavator stick when not in use to help limit interference while digging
• No loose linkage parts when properly placed in the stowed position
• 1/2" AR400 steel tines use a reinforced ladder-frame design with gussets

The thumb must be manually moved between its working and stowed positions. The operator must leave the cab and properly secure the linkage before operating the machine.

Model selection must be based on the excavator, bucket geometry, and coupler configuration—not operating weight alone. The thumb must be positioned so it properly meets the bucket throughout the intended working range.

Please provide your excavator make, model, year, operating weight, bucket width, and coupler information so CrewTough can confirm the appropriate model before the order is released.
