Thumbs for Backhoes

SLS Hydraulic Excavator Thumbs
With the same basic features as larger excavator thumbs the Backhoe Thumb attachments will enable your backhoe to do more material handling jobs than ever before.

POWERCLAMP Hydraulic Thumb
The top of the line, custom made, hydraulic thumb, individualized for the machine, bucket and desired configuration. Heavy gussets, serrated teeth, webbing, hardened pins and bushings, everything heavy duty. Available in non-linkage style with about 140 degrees rotation or linkage style with 180 degree + rotation. Model specific for excavators above 20,000 lbs. Clamps match to buckets, teeth mesh and have optional tooth width.

BRUT Best Rigid Universal Thumb
Five-position rigid thumb that's upgradeable to hydraulic (Powerbrut). Conveniently stores flat to the machine's stick when not used. This affordable, adjustable, upgradeable non-hydraulic mechanical thumb is mounted with it's own main pin on a weld-on (4hrs) base plate. Models for most loaders, backhoes and excavators with standard, non-extendable sticks, with or without couplers. Bolt-on models also available for standard-stick Case backhoes and other un-weldable sticks.

HOECLAMP Non-Hydraulic Thumb
A patented mechanical (non-hydraulic) full-motion thumb that utilizes the main pin of your bucket. Hoeclamp opens and closes in conjunction with your bucket. For standard digging it stores out of the way on the dipper stick. Installs in about an hour. Works on many telescopic sticks, such as Ford New Holland, Komatsu, and older John Deere and Case models. Cat 420D models in stock. Over 1100 models. Especially good on John Deere MD45CW-11, 310, 410, C&D models, D-Series Cats and Kabota L-35's. A step up from a rigid thumb in cost, but incredibly more versatile - yet relatively inexpensive. For specific backhoes, mini and full-size excavators up to 30,000 lbs. None other like it in the world.

PowerBRUT Hydraulic Thumb
An upgraded BRUT Hydraulic Thumb, has its own main pin, cylinder and weld-on base plate. Fits all nearly every size of loader/backhoes and excavators. Works with all buckets and quick couplers. Stores flat under the stick when not in use. Seven models usually in stock for nearly all machines between 2,500 and 100,000 lbs. Models for telescopic sticks utilize the main bucket pin. A diverter valve available for a hydraulic circuit that's not needed when using the bucket.
