Solesbee's Manual Excavator Thumb | Machine Size 2 – 39.5 Tons | For Excavators
DESCRIPTION
The Solesbee’s Manual Excavator Thumb is a rugged, cost‑effective solution for adding gripping capability to your excavator. Designed for machines from 4,000 – 79,000 lbs (2 – 39.5 tons), this thumb gives operators the ability to securely handle stumps, trees, brush, logs, pipe, stone, and demolition debris with precision and control.
Its welded‑on design ensures maximum strength, while the fold‑away feature allows the thumb to be tucked out of the way when not in use — leaving full bucket functionality for digging. Installation is straightforward for qualified welders, typically taking about two hours, and all pins and hardware are included for a complete setup.
Ideal for construction, landscaping, forestry, and site‑prep applications, the Solesbee’s Manual Excavator Thumb is built to withstand heavy use in demanding environments.
