Get a Grip: Use These 3 Tools for More Efficient Excavations

Hydraulic ThumbIf your company regularly performs excavations, and you’re looking for a more efficient way to get things done, consider adding an excavation bucket attachment.

The attachments make it easier to grip things you’re picking up and will help ensure that your projects are completed efficiently.

Whatever your excavation needs may be, these tools will enable you to get the job done on time, each and every time.

Rigid-Style Thumbs

If you regularly use an excavator bucket and want to have more efficient excavations, save from added stress on your bucket and more, consider a rigid-style thumb.

This attachment is fitted to work hand-in-hand with your bucket and offers three and four tine options with recessed center tines for a better grip. Made from premium grade T-1 steel for added strength and durability, it can easily be adjusted by moving just a single pin.

For added versatility these attachments can work in three different positions and will work with 7 to 40 metric ton class machines.

Hydraulic Thumbs

Similarly, hydraulic thumbs offer a secure excavation each time and provide added versatility to your bucket by coming in both linkage and non-linkage styles.

These thumbs come with heavy gussets and reinforcements to make your thumb strong enough for any job and durable enough to last for years to come. They also come with serrated teeth with webbing that will allow you to grip tightly to nearly anything you are excavating.

Hydraulic Kits

If you need a little more power for your excavation job, hydraulic kits can provide that extra boost. These are specifically made to improve the power and stability of thumbs and offer all the hydraulic efficiency that is required.

These kits come with a foot pedal or joystick control that will allow you to use your thumbs with precision and greater efficiency.
