The ESCO Universal Rigid Thumb is an excellent tool for material retention in demolition, placing rip-rap, brush and log handling, and scrap handling applications. The ESCO Universal Rigid Thumb is the choice for those users needing a tool to assist in material retention on an occasional basis, or who are looking for a more economical tool than a hydraulic thumb. Like the thumb on your hand, ESCO hydraulic thumbs allow the excavator to grasp objects, making it an indispensable tool for placing rip-rap, loading brush, logs or debris.
Hydraulic thumbs are ideal for removing pavement, demolition work, or separating recyclables.
ESCO hydraulic thumbs are available both in non-linkage and linkage style. Non-linkage style puts the hydraulic cylinder pinned directly to the thumb, making thumb rotation approximately 120 degrees. The progressive linkage between the cylinder and thumb on a linkage style thumbs provides for greater thumb rotation, approximately 120 degrees. I would like to Request More Information . .
