24" Weld-on Mechanical Thumb, 1 ton – 2.5 ton Excavator

The 24-inch Weld-On Mechanical Thumb is designed for secure material handling on small-scale excavation, landscaping, and cleanup jobs. Built for 1–2.5 ton class excavators, this attachment adds gripping capability without requiring hydraulic lines or complex installation.

Key Specifications

• Length: 24"
• Width: 8"
• Weight: 80 lbs
• Construction: T1 and AR400 steel
• Mounting: Welds directly to excavator boom
• Type: Mechanical (fixed position, operated via bucket curl)

Applications

Ideal for tree removal, brush clearing, rock sorting, and light demolition where a simple, low-maintenance gripping solution is needed. The mechanical design uses existing bucket hydraulics — no extra valves or hoses required — making it perfect for rental units or DIY operators.

Durability

Built with high-strength T1 frame steel and AR400-reinforced contact points to resist impact and wear. Designed for long service life in rocky, root-filled, or abrasive conditions without hydraulic failure risk.

Compatibility

Fits 1–2.5 ton class excavators with compatible boom geometry. Requires direct welding to the bucket mount point — professional installation recommended. Works with any machine that uses standard pin mounting and has sufficient breakout force for thumb operation via bucket circuit.
