Thumbs for Excavators
Equipmentland has a selection of quality thumbs for excavators as well as backhoes. We do not carry bottom dollar thumbs but all thumbs offered are still affordable. From leading manufacturers, all thumbs we sell are made of quality materials, using cold rolled steel where best needed offering strength and flexibility, and AR400 or T-1 higher carbon content where higher tensile strength is needed for appropriate parts. Assure yourself that thumbs ordered from Equipmentland will be with your carrier for life. Contact us if you have any questions or need a custom thumb. We also carry matching rakes, couplers, hammers and more.
Rigid Thumbs for Excavators
Rigid thumbs also known as mechanical
thumbs are universal style thumbs with their own main
pin. Many have the pin and the strut luggging attached
to a weld-on base plate. Some models are upgradeable to
hydraulic later. Usually rigid thumbs have multiple
position selection, plus a storage position so the thumb
can be tucked up to the stick for standard digging.

Hydraulic Thumbs for Excavators
Hydraulic thumbs for excavators come in two
basic styles - universal style with its own main pin and a
weld-on base plate, or a shared-pin style thumb. Hydraulic
thumbs require a dedicated two-way hydraulic circuit routed
up the stick with pressure set approximately 70% of bucket
curl pressure so the bucket will be able to overpower the
thumb versus the opposite. The universal style
advantage is ease of mounting and a much greatly reduced
risk of pin failures.
