Thumb Buckets-The Ultimate Grip for Your Excavator

Product Description

A Thumb Bucket is a standard excavator bucket equipped with an opposing hydraulic attachment—the "thumb." This creates a claw-like mechanism that allows the operator to securely grip, lift, carry, and place a wide variety of materials that are impossible to handle with a regular bucket.

Key Features & Benefits 

1. Superior Grip and Control

• Hydraulic Thumb: Features a robust, hydraulically actuated thumb for maximum pinching force and precise control. The operator can adjust the grip in real-time from the cabin.
• Secure Handling: Prevents loads from slipping or shifting, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and material damage. Ideal for handling rocks, concrete slabs, pipes, and logs.

2. Unmatched Versatility

• One Attachment for Multiple Jobs: Effectively handles tasks in demolition, landscaping, material sorting, forestry, and construction. Eliminates the constant need for attachment changes.
• Handles Various Materials: From large boulders and construction debris to scrap metal and organic waste. It's the ultimate tool for cleanup and sorting operations.

3. Increased Productivity and Profitability

• Save Time: Drastically reduces cycle times by gripping and moving entire loads in one pass. No more pushing and scooping the same material repeatedly.
• Reduce Labor Costs: Minimizes the need for manual labor to position or handle materials, enhancing on-site safety and efficiency.
• Maximize Machine ROI: Turns your excavator into a multi-talented machine, increasing its value and the range of jobs it can undertake.

4. Durability and Reliability

• High-Strength Steel: Manufactured from T1 or AR400 high-tensile steel to withstand extreme impact and abrasion.
• Reinforced Design: Critical stress points are reinforced with extra wear plates and robust cylinders for a long service life in tough environments.
• Precision Engineering: Designed for a perfect fit and optimal performance on specific excavator models.

Scope of Application 

• Demolition: Grabbing and sorting concrete, rebar, and structural beams.
• Landscaping: Placing large boulders and rocks for aesthetic designs.
• Quarry & Mining: Handling oversized rocks and raw materials.
• Forestry: Moving logs and clearing brush.
• Scrap Yards: Sorting and loading various types of scrap metal.
• Construction: Handling pipes, pre-cast structures, and general site cleanup.

Brand Adaptation

Close Cooperation With Factory 

We maintain deep, long-term partnerships with the factory around 20 years. The factory has strong mechanical and automated production capabilities which ensure stable quality and performance of the forgings and good consistency.

Quality Control

The factory's rigorous quality control process includes material spectroscopy analysis, in-process inspections, and final checks with Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) to ensure every bucket is free from defects and meets our high standards. The details control process as below,

1. Incoming raw materials undergo random sampling and analysis using a microscope to ensure the chemical composition meets production requirements.

2. During the production process, QC staff conduct timely sampling to ensure products are defect-free and handle any abnormal quality issues that may arise.

3. The final step involves using a magnetic particle flaw detector on metal parts to detect hidden cracks or defects.

4. All finished metal parts are proportionally sampled and sent to the laboratory for mechanical performance tests, size measurement, and 100% manual surface quality inspection.
